The Work of Hope
Frances Moore Lappe
In times of great stress, the word hope falls off our tongue with more frequency. We hope things will get better. Hope is positive and uplifting. “Rising sun energy” as a great Tibetan teacher once termed it. Emily Dickinson wrote in a poem, “Hope is the thing with feathers/That perches in the soul.” It is […]

Recovering the Land: Native Americans & the Law
Winona LaDuke
Indigenous peoples in the U.S. and around the world are struggling to recover their lands. From the South Pacific to Minnesota to British Columbia in Canada, native activists are mobilizing to reclaim their rights. There are some victories. In March 1997, the government of Argentina returned 300,000 acres to Indians in the northwest region of […]
An Inquiry into Global Capitalism
Noam Chomsky
The jargon of the international economy fills the air: fast track, globalization, the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, Asian tiger meltdowns, and IMF bailouts. Since the economy of Thailand began to unravel in the summer of 1997, a domino-like effect has been felt throughout Asia. South Korea, the 11th biggest economy in the world, is the […]

The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
Greg Palast
After Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez allegedly resigned in April, 2002 The New York Times declared, “Democracy is no longer threatened by a would-be dictator.” The U.S. media, following the Bush Administration’s lead, praised the shift in power and sidestepped the fact that Venezuela’s democratically elected President was ousted by a military coup. Was this simply […]
Satirical Verses
Edward Dorn
Satire has long been a favorite device of artists seeking to subvert by making fun of those in power, be it church, state, king or landlord. If they are especially good at it, they can be banished, like cartoonist Thomas Nast, or novelist Salman Rushdie. But poetry has never wielded enough influence to bring down […]
Poetry & Politics
June Jordan
June Jordan knows well the burdens placed upon the children of immigrants. It’s part of what gave her the courage and conviction to observe the world with the unblinking eye of a reporter and relay what she experiences with the heart of a poet. Her highly political work is a deeply personal call for tolerance […]
The Palestinian Narrative
Edward Said
2 CDs Edward Said says, “It is imperative to see the Palestinian narrative if we are to arrive at a state that can roughly be described as peace.” He then criticizes the media for “a series of twisted ideological fictions designed not only to disguise but to obliterate reality.” On Palestine, liberals are guilty of […]
Environmental Racism in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin
Haunani-Kay Trask
Traditional Hawaiian and Pacific culture has undergone grotesque commercialization. Hotels promote Polynesian revues with hula-hula girls. Shopping malls and golf courses cover sacred sites. Indigenous people are stereotyped and marginalized. In addition, major U.S. military bases are causing serious environmental problems. Japan, France and other countries also contribute to environmental degradation in the region. The […]
