Revolutionary Mexico
John Ross
With a population of more than 110 million, Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. For many, particularly in the U.S. and Canada, it is a vacation getaway with beaches at Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Vallarta and “una cerveza mas, por favor.” Throw in a pyramid or two and that’s […]
Black Nationalism
Kwame Ture
Solidarity: An Injury To One Is An Injury To All
Elaine Bernard
Andrew Carnegie, nineteenth-century financier and steel magnet, once said, “The greatest discovery of my life is that the men who do the work never get rich.” Carnegie knew what he was talking about. He made a fortune off the toil of others. Working people are still getting the short end of the stick. While productivity […]
Media Coverage of the Middle East
Sut Jhally
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is drenched in distortion, myths and half-truths. Basic facts about UN resolutions, the Oslo peace process and what happened at Camp David are barely known. The media have been instrumental to the Israelis in making their side of the conflict known to Americans. Israel, a U.S. ally, is far and away the […]

Peak Oil
Richard Heinberg
The jump at the pump got you down? While you’re paying through the nose for gas the oil companies are making record profits. In 2005, ExxonMobil recorded the largest net profit of any corporation in the history of capitalism: a cool $36 billion. But the gravy train may not last forever. The concept of peak […]
Lessons from Yugoslavia & E. Timor
Noam Chomsky
The U.S.-led NATO attack on Yugoslavia was carried out ostensibly to stop human rights abuses. The bombing campaign triggered a massive increase in killings and expulsions. In East Timor, the site of much greater massacres, the U.S., pursuing different policy aims, chose another course of action. Concern for human rights and international law is selectively […]
Haiti: U.S. Intervention and the Struggle for Democracy
Paul Farmer
The Caribbean nation of Haiti was once one of the richest countries in the world. Today, it ranks among the poorest. It was first colonized by the Spanish whose main contribution was to wipe out the indigenous population. In 1697, the French took over. They brought in half a million African slaves to work the sugar, coffee and cotton […]

U.S. to UN: Do It Our Way
Noam Chomsky
Imagine someone owed you a lot of money, but before paying it back, that person insisted that you not only reduce the amount but also change the way you conduct your affairs. OK. You are broke and desperate. You go along with the debtor’s demands. Then, to top it off, you still don’t get paid. […]
Afrocentricity & Multiculturalism
Ali Mazrui
While there are some popular and unthreatening images of Africa, smiling natives dancing and playing great music, safaris and exotic animals in a National Geographic wonderland, it is the negative picture which overwhelmingly dominates. The continent is virtually synonymous with destitution and misery. Ethiopia, Angola, the Sudan, Somalia and Rwanda are part of the roll […]
