Unresolved Geographies - Embattled Landscapes - Said : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

Edward Said The standard imperial strategies of divide and rule and partition and quit have had disastrous consequences in Ireland - Palestine and India. The ravages of identity politics and skewed nationalist impulses have further contributed to turmoil and war. Independence for many post-colonial states has meant little more than replacing a foreign system of oppression with a local one. What are the ways to create new forms of affiliation and communal existence in order to overcome difference and resolve conflicts? (audio cassette - 60 minutes - 1999) Edward Said - Columbia University professor - was born in Jerusalem - Palestine in 1935 and attended schools there and in Cairo. He received his BA from Princeton and his MA and PhD from Harvard. He is University Professor at Columbia. As one of the few advocates for Palestinian rights in the US - he has been the target of death threats and vandalism. In 1993 - he declined a White House invitation to attend the signing of the Oslo Accords. He criticized the agreement as an instrument of Palestinian surrender. An internationally renowned writer and scholar and one of the foremost intellectual figures of this era - he practically invented the field of post-colonial studies. The New York Times calls him ''one of the most influential literary and cultural critics in the world.'' Among his many books - which have been translated into a number of languages - are the now-classic Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism - central texts in colleges and universities all over the world - The Politics of Dispossession - The Question of Palestine - The End of the Peace Process and Reflections on Exile. His memoir - Out of Place - won the New Yorker Book of the Year Award.

Global Health of Global Wealth - Danaher : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

There's one global economic model that creates wealth for the few - at the expense of the many. In that model - a country's resources and the labor of its people exist to deliver products with the lowest possible cost and the highest possible profit. That profit goes into the pockets of corporate executives and shareholders. The people and the planet are secondary considerations. But there is another model - where wealth is shared and where economic decisions are based on fairness and sustainability. Successful grassroots efforts are underway around the globe to make this vision a reality. (recorded 21 May 2003) Kevin Danaher is co-founder and public education director of Global Exchange - the San Francisco-based non-profit organization that led the campaign that exposed Nike's use of sweatshop labor and promotes grassroots - citizen-oriented efforts in international trade. He is the author of Corporations Are Gonna Get Your Mama - 50 Years Is Enough - Globalize This! - and Democratizing the Global Economy.

Globalize This!: The Battle Against the World Trade Organization and Corporate Rule : GlobalExchange : US$15.95

Edited by Kevin Danaher & Roger Burbach How do we stop the greatest threat to democracy in our time? The World Trade Organization - World Bank and International Monetary Fund are powerful institutions that threaten diversity - labor rights - the environment and democracy itself in their push for increased globalization. They make rules that affect us all - but don't allow input from ordinary citizens; time and time again they have proven instead to serve the interests of government elites and transnational corporations. Learn from some of the WTO opposition movement's best and brightest activists - educators and organizers: Paul Hawken - Manning Marable - Walden Bello - Vandana Shiva - David Bacon - William Greider - and many more. This book demonstrates why the WTO - World Bank and IMF must be stopped. With its rich information about how to become part of the opposition movement - Globalize This! also shows us how to stop them. (211 pages - 2000) The highly successful demonstration of 'people's power' at the World Trade Organization [in Seattle] provides impressive testimony to the effectiveness of educational and organizing efforts designed for the long term - carried out with dedication and persistence - based on open and honest interchange - and guided by careful evaluation of attainable goals and future prospects. The needs are great - the prospects inspiring. What has taken place [so far] offers real opportunities for a long step forward in the everlasting struggle to expand the realms of freedom and justice. --Noam Chomsky 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.

Global Dreams: Imperial Corporations - Cavanaugh : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

John Cavanaugh A new global economic order is coming into focus. The political empires of old are being replaced by giant transnational corporations - TNCs. A 1993 UN report says - The universe of TNCs is large - diverse and expanding - and they are increasingly potent features of the world economy. Reflecting the mobility of capital - national boundaries are increasingly less relevant. While corporate headquarters may be in New York or Tokyo - production facilities are in Indonesia or Thailand and banking operations are in Panama or the Bahamas. The growth of TNCs is spurred by sophisticated communications technologies such as electronic money transfers - which are difficult to control and regulate. Profits vanish into the ether and are untraceable. (audio cassette - 60 minutes - 1994) John Cavanagh is a specialist in international trade - economics - and development issues. He is a Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and the Transnational Institute in Washington - DC. He is the co-author of Global Dreams: Imperial Corporations in the New World Order.

Questions & Swords: Folktales of the Zapatista Revolution : GlobalExchange : US$21.95

By Subcomandante Marcos Illustrated by Domitilia Domi?nguez & Antonio Ramirez Once again sharing the wisdom of Old Man Antonio and his Mayan heritage - Subcomandante Marcos shares two more stories from the Zapatista rebellion against the Mexican Government -- ''The Story of Questions'' and ''The Story of the Sword - the Tree - the Stone and the Water.'' ''The Story of Questions'' relates how two gods - Ik'al and Votan - wander the earth wrapped forever in each other's arms. These two gods are the Ying and the Yang - the yes and the no - the night and the day of the Mayan universe. Antonio says - When they got here they made themselves one and gave themselves the name of Zapata. ''The Story of the Sword - the Tree - the Stone and the Water'' is an ancient parable that demonstrates how the indigenous peoples of Mexico can finally defeat the European invader. The tree - for instance - tried to fight the sword - but was defeated. The stone likewise tried to fight the sword - but was defeated. But not the water. It follows its own road - it wraps itself around the sword and - without doing anything - it arrives at the river that will carry it to the great water where the greatest of gods cure themselves of thirst - those gods that birthed the world - the first ones. Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska and Native American poet Simon Ortiz contribute commentary to explain the significance of the Zapatista Rebellion to the 21st Century. They also discuss the use of folklore and artistic expression to expand our understanding of political thought. Well-known Mexican artists Domitila Dominguez and Antonio Ramirez - co-directors of the Colectivo Callejero in Guadalajara - each illustrated one of the stories. The Colectivo is dedicated to expanding the understanding of revolutionary thought through artistic expression. For more information - visit Global Exchange's Mexico Campaign.

Race - Education and Multiculturalism - Marable : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

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 - embracing and promoting the principles of multiculturalism - should be a key element in the formation of a just and democratic society. Yet today - de facto segregation is increasing. Economic inequality is growing. We are moving toward two distinct societies - one rich and one poor.The crisis of race - class - gender and poverty is a shifting and volatile tectonic plate under the body politic. (audio cassette - 60 minutes - 1993) Manning Marable is professor of history at Columbia University - where he also directs the Institute for Research in African American Studies - and one of the country's most distinguished political scientists and authors.

Race Matters - West : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

Cornell West The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line - wrote WEB Du Bois in The Souls of Black Folk in 1903. Reality and events clearly validate the continuing accuracy of that observation. Racial conflict range from the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles to black-Jewish tensions in New York. Race is a feature of institutions and structures that insures that one group of people have less access to resources such as jobs - education - housing and health care and less access to intangibles such as self-confidence and self-esteem. Racial hierarchy promotes paranoia and division. The problem of the color line must be transcended if we are to realize the promise of genuine equality. (audio cassette - 60 minutes - 1993) Cornel West has been called the pre-eminent African American intellectual of our generation. Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Afro-American Studies at Harvard - he lectures extensively throughout the United States and the world. He is a prolific writer - author of Keeping Faith - Race Matters and Restoring Hope. His work is a fusion of the African American spiritual tradition and progressive politics.

Globalization: The Race to the Bottom - Brecher : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

Jeremy Brecher The international economy has been transformed by the growth of transnational corporations. Three hundred of them now own about one-quarter of the productive assets of the world. Of the top 100 economies - 47 are corporations. Businesses lay off workers here and then they subcontract the work to low-wage - non-union Third World countries. A major consequence of the globalization of production is bringing the Third World home. (audio cassette - 60 minutes - 1995) Jeremy Brecher is an expert on labor - world trade - and economics.

Global Village or Global Pillage: The Race to the Bottom : GlobalExchange : US$25.00

But that gives people around the world a common interest in opposing the race to the bottom. This movie shows how they are doing so.

Global Governance: The Battle For Planetary Power : GlobalExchange : US$9.95

by Kristin Dawkins In Global Governance - policy analyst Kristin Dawkins offers a refreshingly hopeful and astute roadmap towards a democratic future - framing the respective roles and accomplishments of corporations - governments - and citizen activists in light of the day-to-day needs of communities around the world. Written with an eye to the realities of power - Global Governance explores the origins and current state of play in the major global institutions - the rising dominance of global corporations and the growing wealth of the world??s political elite. In describing the impacts of international trade - aid and development loans on Southern economies and communities - Dawkins carefully explains the way governmental policies overseas become instruments of coercion in the context of globalization. Writing with a passionate commitment to justice and democracy - Dawkins points out that the US government is becoming increasingly hostile to the UN ?? even though many of the UN??s institutions and treaties were designed to address poverty and the other problems created by globalization. At a time when the UN??s very survival is being questioned - Global Governance is an urgent call to revitalize multilateralism and to build powerful new tools for democratic global governance. Using the model of community economic development Dawkins practices in her own neighborhood in St. Paul - Minnesota - this book describes a path towards human development and global governance derived from the self-determination of people and their communities.

US Grand Strategy: Global Rule by Force - Chomsky : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

Noam Chomsky The New Imperial World Order is officially under way. The National Security Strategy document lays it all out. Bush has told the world - It's our way or the highway. The US reserves the right to attack anyone at any time. Like the empires of old - the US clothes its aggressive intentions in the name of peace. America is innocent and a victim. But - If war is forced upon us as Bush said in his State of the Union speech - then America will fight. Despite high levels of pro-war propaganda - there is a rising tide of resistance to US hegemony. Protests in the US and elsewhere are at levels that have no historical precedent - says Noam Chomsky. Noam Chomsky - MIT professor - in addition to being a pioneer in linguistics - is internationally renowned for his scholarship and activism on media issues - human rights and social justice. The Guardian calls him - One of the radical heroes of our age. His latest books are Propaganda & the Public Mind and 9-11. He is in such demand as a speaker that he is literally booked years in advance. He drew 20 - 000 - filling a stadium at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre - Brazil. This program features his presentation in its entirety. (audio cassette - 60 minutes - 2003) 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 U.S. 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. (Same speech as the CD US-Colombia Policy).

Haiti: Harvest of Hope : GlobalExchange : US$25.00

Harvest of Hope is the quintessential primer for understanding the roots of the current crisis in Haiti. The film dramatically captures seminal moments in the history of Jean-Bertrand Aristide and the Lavalas movement that swept him into the presidency in December 1990. Haiti: Harvest of Hope was originally planned as a documentary about democracy coming to Haiti with the election of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in December 1990. During the final editing of the original (late September 1991) Haiti was struck by yet another military coup. Editing of the first version came to a halt as Kevin Pina (the filmmaker) returned to Haiti and spent the next three weeks chronicling the brutality and machinations of Haiti's new military leaders and their supporters. Kevin Pina returned to Haiti in late July 1993 just after the negotiation of the Governor's Island Accord between the Haitian Government in exile and General Raoul Cedras. Pina returned again in 1994 to film Aristide's return to Haiti. The world television premiere of Harvest of Hope was in Haiti on Mother's Day - March 28 - 1994. The broadcast was dedicated to the mothers of Haiti who sacrificed so much during the years of the coup to restore democracy to Haiti. The Creole version was produced in association with Jean-Claude Martineau who also introduced the film on Haitian National Television. The first English version of Harvest of Hope was shown to a sold-out house at the Mill Valley - California Film Festival in the summer of 1994. Never having received wide distribution since - Harvest of Hope is a rare film that few have had the opportunity to experience. The final director's cut was completed in 1998 and has only been seen by a select few. It is offered to you exclusively through a special distribution arrangement with the Quixote Center/Haiti Reborn Project. (VHS - 57 minutes - 1998) About the Filmmaker: Kevin Pina is a documentary filmmaker and co-founder of Caribbean Harvest - a California based company that sells and markets products from farmer's cooperatives in Haiti. His filmography includes El Salvador: In the Name of Democracy (1985) - Berkeley in the Sixties (1990) - and Amazonia: Voices from the Rainforest (1991).

(audio cassette - 60 minutes - 1998) Development consultant Marilyn Waring is the first woman to serve in New Zealand's Parliament. She holds a PhD in Political Economy and is the author of several books on the international economic system.

Beneath the Borqa in Afghanistan : GlobalExchange : US$19.95

Afghanistan is one of the world's poorest - most war-stricken countries. Natural disasters ? including severe droughts and famine ? have left Afghanis impoverished. Meanwhile - man-made inflictions such as gross economic misappropriation and moral corruption at the hands of government officials have done even more damage. Since the Taliban regime gained power - women have lost virtually all basic human rights. The nation's laws allow for the severe beating - stoning - and imprisonment of women who exhibit the slightest misbehavior. As a result - millions have relocated to refugee camps in neighboring countries where living conditions are scarcely improved. The human rights violations that keep the Afghan people oppressed are symptoms of a corrupt system and - moreover - an indifferent global community. As the recent events in New York and in Washington DC have taught us - it is essential to be aware of international events and the domino effect they can trigger.

By Jennifer Harbury After carrying out multiple hunger strikes - in 1995 Jennifer Harbury forced the CIA to reveal that one of its paid agents had murdered her husband - Efra-n Velasquez - whose nom de guerre - Comandante Everardo - has become a symbol of freedom in Guatemala. In Senate Intelligence Committee hearings the CIA admitted to covering up its role in his death - and misleading Congress by sweeping it under the rug. Why should the CIA want these people dead? And what was it about these people that so touched her heart that she would risk her life to help them? Through the guerilla?s stories of unparalleled heroism - bravery and commitment - Bridge of Courage throws an extraordinary light on the human spirit.

Bridge of Courage - Harbury : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

Jennifer Harbury Guatemala is the largest and most populous of the Central American republics. It was the center of the great Mayan civilization. The country was conquered by Spain in 1524 and remained a colony for more than three centuries. A pivotal event in its modern history was the 1954 CIA- sponsored coup which overthrew its democratically elected President Jacobo Arbenz. Since then - Guatemala has become a charnel house. It has endured a wave of tyranny and terror in which hundreds of thousands have been killed. The indigenous Mayans in particular have suffered. However - despite tremendous odds - popular-based organizations resist the military and the oligarchy. (audio cassette - 60 minutes - 1994) Jennifer Harbury is an attorney from Texas. She has lived and worked with human rights activists - peasants and Mayan villagers in Guatemala. She worked with members of the US Congress and the Organization of American States to locate her husband and 35 other members of the Guatemalan resistance believed to be held by the military.

A Cafecito Story : GlobalExchange : US$10.00

by Julia Alvarez illustrations by Belkis Ramirez Throughout Central America it is a household ritual to offer a cafecito (a small cup of dark - rich - potent coffee) to any visitor - especially a stranger. Now - in a story spanning Nebraska and the Dominican Republic - Julia Alvarez offers us A Cafecito Story. In North America - coffee is the morning lifeline between waking and working. In Central and South America - coffee is an economic lifeline - after oil the most highly traded commodity in the world. Especially when coffee is grown sustainably - it links the First and Third Worlds in ways that are surprising and often delightful. North American songbirds - for instance - winter in habitats where their survival is directly dependent on coffee farming practices. With lyric simplicity - A Cafecito Story tells the complex tale of a social beverage that bridges nations and unites people in trade - in words - in birds - and in love. The story unfolds through the eyes of Joe - a man with farming in his blood but an increasing sense of displacement from the natural world. While on holiday in the Dominican Republic - Joe learns about how coffee is grown and traded from Miguel - a Dominican coffee farmer. It is from Miguel and the other campesinos that Joe comes to understand the role of coffee in global trade - environmental degradation - and endangered songbird habitat. Initially overwhelmed - Joe eventually learns to live compatibly with the natural world. Human communication - in the form of the written word - the spoken word - and the shared cup of coffee gives him the power to face life's challenges one cup at a time. Julia Alvarez was born - as she puts it by accident - in New York City - but shortly thereafter her family moved back to their native Dominican Republic. She spent her childhood there until her family was forced to flee due to political pressure. Her first book of poems - Homecoming - debuted in 1984. Her first novel How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents was published in 1990 - followed four years later by In the Time of the Butterflies which became a National Book Award finalist. Her most recent novel is In the Name of Salomon. She is a writer-in-residence at Middlebury College. She lives with her husband - Bill Eichner - in the Vermont countryside - but maintains ties to her native homeland through their organic coffee farm (Alta Gracia) - established to demonstrate the ideas and principles of sustainable living. Belkis Ramí?rez - who contributed the woodcuts for A Cafecito Story - is one of the Dominican Republic's most celebrated artists.

Case Studies in Hypocrisy: US Human Rights Policy : GlobalExchange : US$20.00

Noam Chomsky The US prides itself as the defender of democracy and beacon of human rights - and US foreign policy finds justification in promoting the universal values of freedom and equality. Noam Chomsky shows us how to peek behind the curtain to see what is really at work behind the human rights rhetoric. And he separates cleanly the real motives of the ongoing assault by politicians and the corporate media. (two audio CDs - 107 minutes - 1998) 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.

The Celling of America: An Inside Look at the US Prison Industry : GlobalExchange : US$19.95

Edited by Daniel Burton-Rose Voices from America's growing gulag. In The Celling of America - prison journalists will kick open the doors of America's prisons and take you on a hair-raising tour to teach you: How corporations like Microsoft are raking in big bucks from prison labor; How the privatization of prisons means prisoners building their own cages; That over 3 - 000 men and women live under a death sentence in America--forty percent of them are black. (263 pages - 1998) The bookshelves are abundantly stocked with scholarly studies of the United States' criminal justice system - but there are few - if any - like the book you are about to read. It was mainly written by criminals. Their essays are sharply informative because they are grounded in reality - the clarifying experience of dwelling within the penal system. We should listen to them. We will learn from what they see and know. We may begin to think more clearly about all that must be changed.--William Greider - from the Introduction ''A searing indictment of America's burgeoning civil war. Is this a democracy or is this slavery? A chilling and rare expose from inside America's prisons.''--Noelle Hanrahan - Equal Justice USA ''This important book provides a rare perspective: 'how it works' as viewed from the inside. The contributions are serious - informed - and thought-provoking - and merit very serious attention--and reaction.''--Noam Chomsky - Institute Professor at MIT ''The Prison-Industrial Complex feasts on a steady diet of racism and poverty--hatred and fear. This remarkably lucid book not only illuminates the nature of the imprisonment beast - but exposes the social - political - and economic forces responsible for its care and feeding.'' --Rhonda Brownstein - Senior Staff Attorney - Southern Poverty Law Center ''With gut-wrenching force - The Celling of America should alter forever the reader's consciousness about our geometrically increasing prison population.''--Leonard W. Schroeter - Association of Trial Lawyers of America For more information - visit Global Exchange's California Campaign.

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.
