The Palestinians: Blaming the Victims
Edward Said, Christopher Hitchens
A great encounter with two of this era’s most interesting figures. Hitchens declares, “As the taxpayers of the paymaster state for the occupation we have to commit and engage and to be free of the moral blackmail that is often the answer to those who criticize Israel and its doings.” Said tells a great New […]

Nawal El Saadawi

Primetime Activism
Charlotte Ryan
The media are powerful tools long used to inform the public and form public opinion. A glut of entertainment, information and propaganda is conveniently delivered to us in a manner that often makes it difficult to discern one from another. As the sources of information continue to narrow and competition for our attention increases, it […]

Confronting Empire

Globalization and Terrorism
Arundhati Roy
Since 9/11 most of the media have studiously avoided talking about the origins of terrorism. It just happens like the well-known four-letter word. The corporate networks and their overpaid talking heads mimic the Bush line: “They, the evildoers hate us.” Why? “Because of our values and freedom.” This simple formula is repeated ad nauseam even […]

India, with its burgeoning population of 1 billion, is an epicenter of opposition to U.S.-led globalization. When it comes to international commerce the U.S. plays […]

Organize! Union Summer
Tania Rosario, Mateo Roose
Much of the current economic malaise is attributed to a weak union movement. Corporations downsize and restructure with virtual impunity because there is no countervailing force to defend and protect workers’ rights. There is now a major effort to recruit new members into unions. Tania Rosario and Mateo Roose are Recruitment Coordinators for the AFL-CIO’s […]
The Global Women’s Movement
Loretta Ross
“Women hold up half the sky and they are absolutely the equal of men,” declared the new leaders of China in 1949. Inspiring slogans aside, what is the status of women and their struggle for equality? While over the past few decades a global movement has emerged to promote women’s rights, it still faces such […]
