History of US-Mideast Policy: Motives and Consequences - Beinin : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

The New Rulers of the World : GlobalExchange : US$39.00

Award-winning journalist - John Pilger - investigates the realities of globalization by taking a close look at Indonesia. In order to examine the true effects of globalization - Pilger turns the spotlight on Indonesia - a country described by the World Bank as a model pupil until its globalized economy collapsed in 1998. The film examines the use of sweatshop factories by famous brand names - and asks some penetrating questions. Who are the real beneficiaries of the globalized economy? Who really rules the world now? Is it governments or a handful of huge companies? The Ford Motor Company alone is bigger than the economy of South Africa. Enormously rich men - like Bill Gates - have a wealth greater than all of Africa. Pilger goes behind the hype of the new global economy and reveals that the divisions between the rich and poor have never been greater -- two thirds of the world's children live in poverty -- and the gulf is widening like never before. The film looks at the new rulers of the world -- the great multinationals and the governments and institutions that back them -- the IMF and the World Bank. Under IMF rules - millions of people throughout the world lose their jobs and livelihood. The reality behind much of modern shopping and the famous brands is a sweatshop economy - which is being duplicated in country after country. The film travels to Indonesia and Washington - asking challenging questions seldom raised in the mainstream media and exposing the scandal of globalization - including revealing interviews with top officials of the World Bank and the IMF. (Directed by Alan Lowery; Produced by Carlton International Media Ltd; Produced - Written and Presented by John Pilger; 53 minutes - 2001) The producers have asked to make The New Rulers of the World available at a special price so that it can be used widely in the movement for social justice. This film is licensed for grassroots public performance and is being sold at a special price for grassroots activist groups. Purchase does include limited public performance rights - which is the right to show this film in public as long as no admission fee is charged.

The New War on Terrorism: Fact and Fiction : GlobalExchange : US$15.00

Noam Chomsky Noam Chomsky's long awaited talk on the September 11th events and their aftermath. Speaking before an overflowing crowd of 2000 people in Cambridge - Massachusetts - Chomsky's compelling lecture on US foreign policy helps separate fact from fiction in the current conflict with Afghanistan. His thorough historical analysis provides vital information for understanding the state of the world following 9/11.

A renowned professor at MIT for more than four decades - he has been honored with numerous awards and degrees. He was one of the first to speak out against the Vietnam War and is known the world over for his trenchant critiques of U.S. foreign policy and the media. For many he is a symbol of resistance to tyranny and the depredations of private and state power. Few people are more astute in decoding the realities of globalization. He was named in by Utne Reader as one of the top 100 visionaries in the world. Utne says - ''Chomsky knows who's powerful - who's abusing their power - and what they and we should do about it. Over the years he's managed to provoke left and right through his relentless critiques of US foreign policy and culture.'' The New Statesman calls him - ''the conscience of the American people.'' Rolling Stone magazine says - ''Chomsky has been unrelenting in his attacks on the American hierarchy ... he is up there with Thoreau and Emerson in the literature of rebellion.'' A recent survey ranked Professor Chomsky as the most cited living author. He is in such demand as a public speaker that he is booked years in advance - and everywhere he goes he draws overflow audiences. He is the author of scores of books - including Class Warfare - Powers and Prospects - The Common Good - The New Military Humanism and Propaganda and the Public Mind.

Still Waiting For Nike To Do It : GlobalExchange : US$12.95

Nike's Labor Practices in the Three Years Since CEO Phil Knight's Speech to the National Press Club A Global Exchange Report By Tim Connor In 1998 - Nike's CEO and founder Phillip Knight announced in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington - DC that Nike would undertake a series of reforms. Noting that the controversy over sweatshop conditions had made his company?s products ''synonymous with slave wages - forced overtime and arbitrary abuse - '' he announced that Nike would adopt new labor policies on health and safety - child labor - independent monitoring - among other issues. Knight later described the speech as a ''watershed event'' that signaled a ''sea change in the company culture.'' Now - a report by the international human rights organization Global Exchange reveals that workers making Nike products are still forced to work excessive hours - are not paid enough to meet the most basic needs of their children - and are subject to harassment - dismissal and violent intimidation if they try to form unions or tell journalists about labor abuses in their factories. As the report concludes - ''Nike has mislead consumers and let down the workers who make its products and who continue to suffer extreme injustice while Nike touts itself as an 'industry leader? in corporate responsibility.'' The report shows that Nike continues to treat sweatshops abuses as a public relations inconvenience rather than a serious human rights issue. (115 pages - extensive footnotes - references - and appendices; May 2001) Is Nike Still Doing It?

No-Nonsense Guide to the Arms Trade : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

Edited by Gideon Burrows Guns - landmines - bombs and rockets - the arms trade brings death and destruction to millions of people around the world - many of them civilians.

Exposing the cynicism - bribery - insider deals and political back scratching which characterise today's arms trade - Gideon Burrows not only looks at the trade in conventional arms but also at the transfer of torture tools to some of the world's worst human rights abusers. Laced with personal stories of protests and encounters with the arms business - The No-Nonsense Guide to The Arms Trade - is - above all - a call to action.(144 pages - April 2003) For more information - visit Global Exchange's Afghanistan - Colombia - Iraq - and Palestine Campaigns.

No-Nonsense Guide to Democracy : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

By Richard Swift How democratic is democracy? We take the pulse of today's body politic and find the patient in an enfeebled state. This book explores how democracy is constricted and deformed by economic power-brokers and a self serving political class - from Birmingham to Bangalore. A sterile consensus of technocrats - neo-liberals - and spin-doctors worldwide has usurped the hopes for a democratic future. This book is also a guide to the rich diversity of forms of elected government and contains some practical ideas for empowering today's voters. Chapters include: What is Democracy?; The democratic malaise; Weak and strong democracy; Democratizing the economy; Beyond the nation-state; Democratizing democracy; Democracy and Ecology; Strong democracy in the south.

No-Nonsense Guide to International Development : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

Edited by Maggie Black Building dams in India - planting trees in Burkina Faso - rescuing street children in Brazil - these are images of aid and international development with which we can all identify. What few people realise - as Maggie Black explains in this No-Nonsense Guide - is that the terms overseas aid and international development mask confusion - contradiction - and even downright deceit. All too often what passes for development improves life for the better-off - while actively hurting the very people the venture was meant to support. What we need for the future - she proposes - is more realism - less hypocrisy and a more accurate picture of what is happening in development's name. Only then can a process be established which truly defends the interests of the poor. (144 pages - April 2003) For more information - visit Global Exchange's IMF/World Bank campaign.

No-Nonsense Guide to Globalization : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

edited by Wayne Ellwood Globalization: it's a buzzword you can't escape. But what on earth does it mean? For some it's the ticket to a democratic world of instant communications and global prosperity. While for others it's a money-mad juggernaut - spinning wildly out of control - threatening both cultural and biological diversity. The complex entanglement of cultures and economies has been growing since the colonial era and even before. So today commercial culture and the Western consumer model have seeped into every corner of the globe while gaps in wealth - food security and social provision continue to grow. The No Nonsense Guide to Globalization traces the journey towards a 'borderless' world. And in the process it shows that the promise of globalization is seductive - powerful - and ultimately hollow. Chapters include a history of globalization - the Bretton Woods Trio - debt and structural adjustment - corporations - global economics - poverty - environment - the market - and ideas for redesigning the global economy.

No-Nonsense Guide to Terrorism : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

Edited by Jonathan Barker Since the events of September 11 2001 - the uses of the word terrorism seem to have multiplied - and it has never been clearer that one person?s terrorist is another?s freedom fighter. This No-Nonsense Guide to Terrorism looks at debates about September 11 and the responses to it - but also analyses the causes and contexts of terrorism the world over. Jonathan Barker provides a highly accessible historical sketch of terrorism - looking at core examples from the Middle East - instances of state terrorism - and the existence of a terrorist fringe to political movements such as anti-apartheid. He guides readers through the moral and political theories justifying and guiding terrorist acts and draws attention to the battle of images and ideas that accompanies them. The book moves away from moral judgments - demonstrating how social analysts and psychologists view the dynamics of terrorism. Furthermore it examines the consequences of terrorist acts for popular politics. (144 pages - April 2003) Jonathan Barker is a writer living in Toronto - Canada. He is the author of Street-Level Democracy and Rural Communities under Stress. He retired recently from thirty years of teaching politics and development issues at the University of Toronto and at the University of Dar es Salaam.

Public participation - through eclectic meetings of individuals - organizations - businesses and political figures - as well as national referendums - and political concentisation has played a huge part in the direction the Zapatistas have taken to dialogue with the Mexican government. Presently - Chiapas is an occupied state at war. Individuals? movements are monitored at army and immigration checkpoints. Military camps are strategically located at entrances to communities suspected of sympathizing with Zapatista demands. Households are threatened - men are scared to work on their subsistence crops of coffee and corn - for fear of leaving their families and for their own safety. Soldiers demand sex from village girls. The photographs in this book document the military?s occupation - the current situation of individuals living in refuge - and their testimonies. The photos were taken by a photographer who worked for the Fray Bartolome de las Casas Human Rights Centre for five years.

Our Word is Our Weapon : GlobalExchange : US$17.95

Selected Writings of Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos By Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos - Juana Ponce de León - The Zapatistas A powerful collection of literary - philosophical - and political writings of the enigmatic Zapatista spokesperson - Subcomandante Marcos. Introduced by Nobel Prize winner José Saramago - and illustrated with beautiful black and white photographs - Our Word is Our Weapon crystallizes ''the passion of a rebel - the poetry of a movement - and the literary genius of indigenous Mexico.'' Marcos first captured world attention on January 1 - 1994 when he and an indigenous guerrilla group calling themselves ''Zapatistas'' revolted against the Mexican government and seized key towns in Mexico's southernmost state of Chiapas. In the six years that have passed since their uprising - Marcos has altered the course of Mexican politics and emerged an international symbol of grassroots movement-building - rebellion - and democracy. The prolific stream of poetic political writings - tales - and traditional myths which Marcos has penned since January 1 - 1994 fill more than four volumes. Our Word is Our Weapon presents the best of these writings - many of which have never been published before in English. Our Word Is Our Weapon is divided into three sections. Section one brings together his essential political essays and shows the evolution of Zapatista thinking as a movement both within and outside of Mexico. Section two presents Marcos's philosophical thinking - personal reflections - and includes a humorous recollection of his first days as a guerrilla - as well as his letters to other writers. The third section features the many short stories - folk tales - and indigenous myths that Marcos has become known for - including his award winning The Story of the Colors. Throughout this remarkable book we hear the uncompromising voice of indigenous communities living in resistance - expressing through manifestos and myths the universal human urge for dignity - democracy - and liberation. It is the voice of a people refusing to be forgotten the voice of Mexico in transition - the voice of a people struggling for democracy by using their word as their only weapon. (512 pages - 2000) ''This is an extraordinary collection of writings - documenting one of the most important grassroots rebellions of our time. It conveys the mind and spirit of the Zapatista movement with eloquence and astonishing immediacy.''?Howard Zinn ''Marcos is the voice for many voices. This book hands us the necessary keys to begin deciphering the enigma of the collective movement he expresses. His words - fashioned from humor and poetry - reveal the deep roots and abundant branches of the Zapatista insurrection in Chiapas. It is an original language for an original movement that is transforming Mexico and is helping to change the world.''?Eduardo Galeano ''It is our fate to live in a country whose government repeatedly and deliberately wounds some of the most precious beings on earth. Beings who can teach us how to live long - faithfully and with gratitude on this planet - our only home. The Zapatistas - descendents of ancient indigenous people - are such beings. Our right relation would be to honor them. Revolt is the mirror in which greed is forced to see itself. Our Word is Our Weapon reflects the deep soul beauty and determined hearts of deliberately impoverished people as they stand up to the most insatiable giant the world has ever seen. Theirs is a stance of dignity - courage and self-respect. And that is what they inspire in us - even as they suffer.'' ?Alice Walker ''Somewhere between the passionate analysis of Ricardo Flores Magon - and the poetic fury of Eduardo Galeano - lie these most powerful and essential communiques of the new Mexican Revolution. Possibly the most influential collection of writings upon my musical and political perspective.''?Zack de la Rocha - Rage Against the Machine ''Subcomandante Marcos is a poet-revolutionary in the tradition of José Martí and Roque Dalton. Our Word is Our Weapon crystallizes the passion of a rebel - the poetry of a movement - and the literary genius of indigenous Mexico. The flame that burns here is a light for literature and democracy - a dangerous fire for those in power.'' ?Martín Espada ''Our Word is Our Weapon is a revolutionary?s work. Marcos has earned his indignation like few men alive.'' ?Norman Mailer For more information - visit Global Exchange's Mexico Campaign.

Palestine Is Still The Issue : GlobalExchange : US$39.00

John Pilger returns to the Middle East and questions why there has been no progress towards peace. In 1977 - the award-winning journalist and film-maker - John Pilger - made a documentary called Palestine Is Still The Issue (1977). He told how almost a million Palestinians had been forced off their land in 1948 - and again in 1967. In this in-depth documentary - he has returned to the West Bank of Jordan and Gaza - and to Israel - to ask why the Palestinians - whose right of return was affirmed by the United Nations more than half a century ago - are still caught in a terrible limbo -- refugees in their own land - controlled by Israel in the longest military occupation in modern times. The fate and struggle of the Palestinians - says Pilger - are not just critical to the overdue recognition of their basic human rights - but are also central to whether the region - and the wider world - are plunged into war. Israel is now one of the biggest military powers in the world. While nothing changes - the dangers become greater. This is a film about a nation of people - traumatized - humiliated - and yet resilient. In trying to liberate less than a quarter of historic Palestine - they have had no army - no air force - and no powerful friends -- and have fought back with slingshots and now with the terrorism of the suicide bombers. In a series of extraordinary interviews with both Palestinians and Israelis - John Pilger weaves together the issue of Palestine. He speaks to the families of suicide bombers and their victims. He sees the humiliation of Palestinians imposed on them at the myriad of checkpoints and with a permit system not dissimilar to apartheid South Africa's infamous pass laws. He goes into the refugee camps and meets children who he says - ''no longer dream like other children - or if they do - it is about death.'' Continually asking for the solution - John Pilger says it is time to bring justice - as well as peace - to Palestine. (Directed by Anthony Stark; Produced by Christopher Martin for Carlton International Media Ltd; Written and Presented by John Pilger; 53 minutes - 2002). The producers have asked to make Palestine Is Still The Issue available at a special price so that it can be used widely in the movement for social justice. This film is licensed for grassroots public performance and is being sold at a special price for grassroots activist groups. Purchase does include limited public performance rights - which is the right to show this film in public as long as no admission fee is charged.

Edward Said September 13 - 1998 marked the fifth anniversary of the Oslo Accords. Hardly anyone noticed. Peace still seems distant. Fifty years after Israel's founding - the status of the Palestinians remains unclear. What is the Palestinian future?

Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq : GlobalExchange : US$39.00

John Pilger exposes the devastating effect that UN sanctions have had on the children of Iraq. In a hard-hitting special report - award-winning journalist and filmmaker John Pilger investigates the effects of sanctions on the people of Iraq and finds that ten years of extraordinary isolation - imposed by the UN and enforced by the US and Britain - killed more people than the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan. The UN Security Council imposed the sanctions and demanded the destruction of Saddam Hussein's chemical and biological weapons under the supervision of a UN Special Commission (UNSCOM). Iraq was permitted to sell a limited amount of oil in exchange for some food and medicine. Pilger takes the former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations - Denis Halliday - back to the crippled country for the first time since he resigned in protest over the sanctions back in September 1998. Together - they reveal an extraordinary portrait of life in a country with a decaying infrastructure and a population that Pilger says is being held hostage to the compliance of Saddam Hussein. Pilger brought back disturbing evidence that the ''holds'' on humanitarian supplies paralyzed the country and devastated millions of people - many dying from curable diseases because life saving drugs were only available intermittently. He also finds that the breakdown of the clean water system and health facilities were having a tragic effect on young children - contributing to an alarming rise in their mortality rate. Pilger also exposes the suffering caused to the civilian population by the illegal bombing campaign being conducted by US and Britain in the ''no-fly zones'' in northern and southern Iraq. (Directed by Alan Lowery; Produced by Carlton International Media Ltd; Produced - Written and Presented by John Pilger; 74 minutes - 2000.)

The 'Peace Process' in the Middle East - Chomsky : GlobalExchange : US$20.00

Noam Chomsky The signing of the Declaration of Principles between Israel and the PLO in September 1993 was celebrated with great fanfare. At last - long-time adversaries were settling their differences. The US-sponsored peace process was a success. A lot has happened since that White House ceremony. The participants received Nobel Peace Prizes. Arafat sits on an uneasy throne in Gaza. Hamas threatens his reign. Elections have been postponed. Israeli settlers and troops remain in the West Bank and Gaza. The litany of violence continues. The real history of the conflict has been largely obscured. In general - whatever the US proposes is by definition the peace process. Non-US proposals disappear from the public record. Much of the media coverage is disinformation laced with anti-Palestinian bias. In the prevailing Orwellian framework - moderates are those who support US positions; extremists are those who don't fall into line behind Washington. In part one - Professor Chomsky examines some of the misperceptions - myths and hidden history of the Israel-Palestinian issue and the crucial role of US policy. He argues that US interest in Mideast oil transcends every other concern. In order to secure its power - the US constructed a strategic alliance to police the region. It was important that an Arab facade cover US intentions. Of course - when the local cops on the beat can't keep order - then Washington moves in with massive force - as it did in the Gulf War. In part two - he engages the audience in a lively question-and-answer period. (two audio cassettes - 120 minutes - 1994) Noam Chomsky is one of the foremost intellectual figures of this era. A renowned professor at MIT for more than four decades - he has been honored with numerous awards and degrees. He was one of the first to speak out against the Vietnam War and is known the world over for his trenchant critiques of U.S. foreign policy and the media. For many he is a symbol of resistance to tyranny and the depredations of private and state power. Few people are more astute in decoding the realities of globalization. He was named in by Utne Reader as one of the top 100 visionaries in the world. Utne says - ''Chomsky knows who's powerful - who's abusing their power - and what they and we should do about it. Over the years he's managed to provoke left and right through his relentless critiques of US foreign policy and culture.'' The New Statesman calls him - ''the conscience of the American people.'' Rolling Stone magazine says - ''Chomsky has been unrelenting in his attacks on the American hierarchy ... he is up there with Thoreau and Emerson in the literature of rebellion.'' A recent survey ranked Professor Chomsky as the most cited living author. He is in such demand as a public speaker that he is booked years in advance - and everywhere he goes he draws overflow audiences. He is the author of scores of books - including Class Warfare - Powers and Prospects - The Common Good - The New Military Humanism and Propaganda and the Public Mind. He is the subject of an award-winning documentary film entitled Manufacturing Consent.

Perceptions of Palestine : GlobalExchange : US$19.95

Their Influence on US Middle East Policy Updated Edition with a New Afterword by Kathleen Christison For most of the twentieth century - considered opinion in the United States regarding Palestine has favored the inherent right of Jews to exist in the Holy Land. That Palestinians - as a native population - could claim the same right has been largely ignored. Kathleen Christison's controversial new book shows how the endurance of such assumptions - along with America's singular focus on Israel and general ignorance of the Palestinian point of view - has impeded a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Christison begins with the derogatory images of Arabs purveyed by Western travelers to the Middle East in the nineteenth century - including Mark Twain - who wrote that Palestine's inhabitants were abject beggars by nature - instinct - and education. She demonstrates other elements that have influenced US policymakers: American religious attitudes toward the Holy Land that legitimize the Jewish presence; sympathy for Jews derived from the Holocaust; a sense of cultural identity wherein Israelis are like us and Arabs distant aliens. She makes a forceful case that decades of negative portrayals of Palestinians have distorted US policy - making it virtually impossible to promote resolutions based on equality and reciprocity between Palestinians and Israelis. Christison also challenges prevalent media images and emphasizes the importance of terminology: Two examples are the designation of who is a terrorist and the imposition of place names (which can pass judgment on ownership). Christison's thoughtful book raises a final disturbing question: If a broader frame of reference on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict had been employed - allowing a less warped public discourse - might not years of warfare have been avoided and steps toward peace achieved much earlier? (399 pages - 2001) Breaks new ground through the sheer scope of its analysis - tracing 130 years of formulation of American perceptions of the Middle East and their ultimate manifestation in US government policy. It is unhesitatingly recommended - as a standard text - to anyone wishing to better understand the conflict.--Nigel Parry - Middle East International There is no shrewder observer of the American-Palestinian-Israeli triangle. Christison has written a masterful treatise on how it is that the United States managed to ignore the Palestinians for a century.--Donald Neff - Journal of Palestine Studies After reading this book - it will be impossible not to wince the next time a representative of the U.S. government describes America as an honest broker.--Lawrence Davidson - Middle East Journal Christison weaves together the complex strands of American thinking regarding Palestine. Her superb book will undoubtedly result in heated debates among policy-makers and journalists.--Ann M. Lesch - author of Arab Politics in Palestine - 1917-1939 For more information - visit Global Exchange's Palestine Campaign.

Take It Personally: How to Make Conscious Choices to Change the World : GlobalExchange : US$24.95

by Anita Roddick From the protests in Seattle to the perseverance of people like Julia Butterfly Hill and Vandana Shiva - we're seeing a growing resistance to globalization and its negative effects. A consumer revolution is taking hold across the globe. Daily news reports tell us of the sweatshops that produce Gap clothing - the child labor that goes into Nike running shoes - and the deplorable demands that are put on the agricultural workers who bring us Starbucks coffee. People everywhere are starting to educate themselves on how they can take it personally by making conscious consumer choices that will make a difference in the world. Through the work of reporters - photographers - underground investigators - and the testimony of people working in inhuman conditions - accounts of the sad and shocking working and living conditions of people in Third World countries and in the United States not only have surfaced but have provoked a humanitarian response. As consumers become increasingly aware about what they but and where it comes from - they are making conscious choices about what they are---or are not---willing to have their money support. Anita Roddick presents here a vibrant collection of photographs - essays - montages - and quoted on the driving issues behind globalization from impassioned writers and activist organizations. This is the definitive handbook for the average consumer who wants to learn about the issues and make informed choices. (256 pages - 2001) Maverick businesswoman Anita Roddick is a role model in the world of business.

Afghanistan - Pakistan - and Latin America are just recent examples of US policy gone awry. This is a revelatory and blockbuster program.

Power and Terror: Post-9/11 Talks and Interviews : GlobalExchange : US$11.95

Noam Chomsky Edited by John Junkerman In Power and Terror - his first new book following his runaway bestseller 9-11 - Chomsky presents his latest thinking on terrorism - U.S. foreign policy - and the meaning and true impact of militarism in the world today - based on a series of talks and conversations in March and May of 2002 in California - Massachusetts - and New York. Beginning with the fundamental principle that the exercise of violence against civilian populations is terror - regardless of whether the perpetrator is an underground network of Muslim extremists or the most powerful state in the world - Chomsky - in stark and uncompromising terms - challenges the United States to apply to itself the moral standards it demands of others. Chomsky reviews the history of war crimes and delivers his now-famous analysis of the double-standards and hypocrisy of Western governments - and the role of the media and intellectuals. Power and Terror is an uncompromising critique of American power. With clarity and forcefullness - he places terrorist acts in the context of American foreign intervention throughout the postwar decades--in Vietnam - Central America - the Middle East - and elsewhere. Power and Terror also includes personal reflections by Chomsky on the sources of his optimism - and the connection - if any - between his work in linguistics and his political activism. He credits the dedicated - painstaking - often unacknowledged but brave participation of ordinary citizens with making the world a more civilized place now than it was decades ago. It is perhaps this optimism that sustains his life-long mission: to bring facts to the public in the faith that - armed with information - people will use that knowledge to demand peace - democracy - and social justice. The publication of Power and Terror coincides with the release of the film Power and Terror: Noam Chomsky in Our Times - a documentary by John Junkerman. Available in Video and DVD versions.

He was named in by Utne Reader as one of the top 100 visionaries in the world. Utne says - ''Chomsky knows who's powerful - who's abusing their power - and what they and we should do about it. Over the years he's managed to provoke left and right through his relentless critiques of US foreign policy and culture.'' The New Statesman calls him - ''the conscience of the American people.'' Rolling Stone magazine says - ''Chomsky has been unrelenting in his attacks on the American hierarchy ... he is up there with Thoreau and Emerson in the literature of rebellion.'' A recent survey ranked Professor Chomsky as the most cited living author. He is in such demand as a public speaker that he is booked years in advance - and everywhere he goes he draws overflow audiences. He is the author of scores of books - including Class Warfare - Powers and Prospects - The Common Good - The New Military Humanism and Propaganda and the Public Mind. He is the subject of an award-winning documentary film entitled Manufacturing Consenti. (audio cassette - 60 minutes - 1998)

Elite Globalization vs People's Globalization : GlobalExchange : US$15.00

The mass media talk about globalization as if it were a unified - all-encompassing entity. But there are two kinds of globalization: elite globalization and grassroots globalization. Elite globalization is driven by the big corporations seeking mainly to maximize profits. Aided by the World Bank - IMF and World Trade Organization they force countries to ''open'' their economies to penetration by foreign capital - reduce and privatize state functions - deregulate the economy - and submit everything to the rule of ''market forces.'' Economic production is increasingly disconnected from human needs; people are encouraged to pursue an unsustainable pattern of resource consumption; and social inequality increases. The grassroots variant of globalization is made up of the fair trade movement - micro-lending networks - the movement for social and ecological labeling - sister cities and sister schools - trade union solidarity across borders - and many others. While grassroots networks may lack the money and government influence possessed by the corporations - they showed at the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle in late 1999 that they are capable of mobilizing enough people to halt the corporate agenda in its tracks?at least temporarily. Danaher explains why - since September 11 - it has become even more important for us to build the build the global justice movement and strengthen grassroots globalization. (filmed at Colorado College - December 2001 - VHS - 75 minutes) Kevin Danaher travels the world speaking to community groups about the effects of corporate globalization and how to get involved in the grassroots movement challenging corporate rule.

Empty Promises: The IMF - World Bank - and the Planned Failures of Global Capitalism : GlobalExchange : US$6.95

Edited by The 50 Years Is Enough Network Here is an introduction to two of the institutional power structures that create and manage the contemporary global economy. The IMF was originally assigned to monitor currency values and help avert balance-of-trade crises - and the World Bank was meant to make loans to re-develop war-torn countries. Over the years - those roles have changed and expanded. Beginning around 1980 - when the neo-liberal economic doctrine was becoming entrenched - the IMF and World Bank became much more powerful and they began to design and impose economic policy programs for dozens of countries. These programs became known as the Structural Adjustment Programs which have been imposed on a great majority of governments in the Global South. (80 pages - 2003) Inside you will find these 32 brief essays about most of the vital issues on which the IMF and World Bank have an impact: Demands of the IMF & World Bank Basic Facts About the IMF & World Bank Debt ?

Free Trade Area of the Americas: The Threat to Social Programs - Environmental Sustainability and Social Justice : GlobalExchange : US$3.00

By Maude Barlow The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) - currently being negotiated by 34 countries of the Americas and the Caribbean - is intended by its architects to be the most far-reaching trade agreement in history.

The FTAA - as it now stands - would introduce into the Western Hemisphere all the disciplines of the proposed services agreement of the World Tade Organization (WTO) -- the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) -- with the powers of the failed Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) - to create a new trade powerhouse with sweeping new authority over every aspect of life in Canada - the Americas - and the Caribbean.

Gaza Strip : GlobalExchange : US$25.00

American documentary filmmaker James Longley traveled to the Gaza Strip in January of 2001 - planning to stay for two weeks and collect preliminary material for a film about the Palestinian intifada. He threw away his return ticket and stayed for another 3 months - shooting over 75 hours of material throughout the Gaza Strip. Gaza Strip follows a range of people and events following the election of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon - including the first major armed incursion into Area A by IDF forces during this intifada. The film is filmed almost entirely in a verite style - presented without narration and with little explanation - focusing on ordinary Palestinians rather than politicians and pundits. More observation than political argument - Gaza Strip offers a rare look inside the stark realities of Palestinian life and death under Israeli military occupation.

Sterling Silver Gecko Pin : GlobalExchange : US$15.00

In the traditional silversmithing village of Celuk - on the island of Bali - jewelry is exquisitely handcrafted - using unique and painstakingly detailed techniques - which are passed down through families for generations. Paradiso has worked closely for two decades with small families in this village. As each piece is entirely hand-fabricated - no two are exactly identical; each is an individual work of art. Each gecko brooch is sterling silver - decorated with a pattern of carefully formed silver balls - which capture the texture and nimble-bodied nature of this much-loved island resident. The pin's real-life counterpart utters a guttural call that sounds like its own name: gec-ko - gec-ko. With each call - the sound gets a little softer - deeper and slower. The Balinese listen carefully - as they believe that if a person hears this call nine times - they will be blessed with extraordinary luck. (2'' long) Choose a Native Leaf Jewelry Bag to make your gift extra special!
