The Wrong Complexion to Get the Protection
Ron Daniels
Stolen. That’s how the year 2000 U.S. presidential election will go down in history to the minds of many Americans. Numerous problems with voting procedures became apparent in the days following the election. But what may be most disturbing is how people of color were literally stopped from reaching the polls. The events that occurred […]
The Color Line in the 21st Century
Ron Daniels
W. E. B. DuBois, the great African American scholar and activist in his classic 1903 work The Souls of Black Folk wrote, “The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line.” Now with a new century where has the line moved. Racism today is far more complex than it was in […]

Corporate Accounting vs. Corporate Accountability
Kevin Danaher
Mega-corporations now dominate the international economy. This development, under the rubric of globalization, is heralded by the White House, Wall Street, and the media. They say it’s a good thing. Villagers in poor Third World countries get the opportunity to earn and improve their lives. Critics contend that not only are those villagers exploited but […]
Citizen Power
Kevin Danaher
Transnational corporations are, in some instances, bigger and more powerful than nations. Free trade agreements have enhanced corporate power while undermining the ability of workers to defend their jobs. However, all over the world people are organizing and resisting. The shape and contours of that struggle will determine the global economy in the 21st century.
