In this brand-new collection of speeches and essays, Roy masterfully draws the thread
of empire through ostensibly disconnected arenas, highlighting the parallels between
the poverty draft in the United States, caste politics in India, AIDS in South Africa,
reconstruction contracts in Iraq, and the perverse machinery of mass media worldwide.
Laying bare the corporate and military obstacles to peace and prosperity, she celebrates
the multitude off grassroots efforts to renew the defenition of democracy.

The Abortion Diaries is a documentary featuring twelve women who speak candidly about
their experiences with abortion. The women are doctors, subway workers, artists,
activists, military personnel, teachers and students; they are Black, Latina, Jewish
and White; they are mothers or child-free; they range in age from 19 to 54. Their
stories weave together with the filmmaker'sdiary entries to present a compelling,
moving and at times suprisingly funny "dinner party" where the audience is invited
to hear what women say behyind closed doors about motherhood, medical technology, sex,
spirituality, love, work, and their own bodies.

Revelations about U.S policies and practices of torture and abuse have captured headlines
ever since the breaking of the Abu Ghraib prison story in April 2004. Since then, a debate
has raged regarding what is and what is not acceptable behavior for the world's leading democracy.
It is within this context that Angela Davis, one of America's most remarkable political figures,
gave a series of interviews to discuss resistance and law, institutional sexual coercion,
politics and prison. Davis talks about her own incarceration, as well as her experiences as
"enemy of the state," and about having been put on the FBI's most wanted" list. She talks
about the crucial role that International activism played in her case and the case of many
other political prisoners. Throughout these interviews, Davis returns to her critiques of a democracy that has been
compromised by its racist origins and institutions. Discussing the most recent disclosures
about the disavowed "chain of command" and the formal reports by the Red Cross and Human
Rights Watch denouncing U.S. violation of human rights and the laws of war in Guant�namo,
Afghanistan and Iraq, Davis focuses on the underpinnings of prison regimes in the United States.

Chris Kortright; Feral: A Journal Toward Wildness, Spring 1999
"Twist the popular earth First! slogan from "Visualize industrial Collapse" to "Actualize
industrial Collapse" and you have the gist of this new anthology from John Zerzan. To
many it has seemed that John has been alone in his attack on the totality of civilization.
Now the reader can see a chronology: diversity and passion from hundreds of years of
resistance against the nightmare we have inherited today. This book will introduce ecologists
to anarchists and anarchists to ecologists; intellectuals to activist perspectives; and
vice-versa. I think Chellis Glendinning's description in her Foreword is accurate when she
says "Herein the reader will discover the questions that need to be asked and insights that
beg to be nurtured if humankind and the natural world as we know it are to thrive in the
future. This book is that important."
