Labor and Politics: A New Agenda
Tony Mazzocchi
For decades organized labor has been aligned to the Democratic Party. Union endorsements for their candidates were almost automatic. In the 1980s, Reagan succeeded in reaching a lot of union members. The proverbial tectonic plate was shifting. Union membership continues to shrink. Hourly wages were higher twenty-five years ago. Family income was higher ten years […]
Labor Party Advocates: A New Party
Tony Mazzocchi
The U.S. is alone among the industrialized nations without a labor-based party. Working people lack a political organization that represents and promotes their interests. Polls indicate widespread dissatisfaction and disillusionment with the existing political system. More and more Americans view the Democrats and Republicans as simply two factions of the same pro-business party. Labor Party […]
Africa: Myths & Realities
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.

Democratic Values and Economic Inequality
Manning Marable
Just when you thought the huge gap between rich and poor could grow no wider, the latest numbers come in. The average CEO now makes 326 times the salary of the average worker. The U.S. has the worse income inequality among industrialized nations. The economic gurus can’t explain why the richest country in the world […]
Beyond Black & White: Rethinking Race
Manning Marable
A generation removed from the civil rights movement, the achievement of racial equality and social justice for African Americans seems more remote than ever. Life expectancy for black men is below retirement age. Median black income is 60% that of whites. At the same time, affirmative action, Black Studies programs and other gains of the […]
Race, Education & Multiculturalism
Manning Marable
The United States is rapidly changing. Within two decades the majority of the working class between the ages of 20 and 40 will be people of color. And by 2050 we will live in a country in which whites will be a minority of the total population. The color line will be fundamentally transformed. Education, […]
