Finally available in paperback!
-apologies for cross postings- PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE

Noam Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance
http://www.americanempireproject.com/bookpage.asp?ISBN=0805076883

"If, for reasons of chance, or circumstance (or sloth), you have to
pick just one book on the subject of the American Empire, I'd say pick
this one. It's the Full Monty. It's Chomsky at his best. Hegemony or
Survival is necessary reading." --Arundhati Roy

Now available for the first time in trade paperback, his most urgent and sweeping original work in years, HEGEMONY OR SURVIVAL: America’s Quest for Global Dominance (Owl Books/Henry Holt and Company; September 1, 2004; $13.00) dissects the U.S. government’s unilateralist policies—from regime change to the militarization of space, from the dismantling of international agreements to preemptive wars—all of which are putting our nation and the world at risk.

Drawing on an astonishing range of documentation, Chomsky shows how the U.S. has long sought to stake out the globe, a process intensified by the current Bush administration. He explains that this “grand imperial strategy” leads to a stark choice: between “two trajectories in current history—one aiming toward hegemony and threatening survival; the other dedicated to the belief that ‘another world is possible.’ Which trajectory will dominate, no one can foretell. The pattern is familiar throughout history; a crucial difference today is that the stakes are higher.”

Scrutinizing the Cuban missile crisis, the bloody aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the Middle East road map, and the “war on terrorism” among other crucial moments in recent history, Chomsky argues that America is just as much a terrorist state as any other government or rogue organization. As debate about America’s international role becomes ever more charged, Chomsky’s clear-eyed analysis, cutting through opinion, lies, and propaganda, is indispensable.

Lucid and rigorous, HEGEMONY OR SURVIVAL is Chomsky’s most accessible work to date. A definitive statement from one of the world’s most influential political thinkers, Chomsky’s latest book is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the nature of power, of American power in particular, and of the challenges we face.

A Day Without a Mexican---

I just saw this film because a friend at Universal recommended it to me and it recently came out on DVD. I was wondering what people thought of it. I know it wasn't exactly what some expected. There wasn't a lot of talk about social/racial issues in the film, which would seem appropriate or wanting considering the title. I think it would have been a perfect opportunity to make some real observations vocalized. But it is still entertaining to watch. Any thoughts?

Just wanted to pitch a new website, called Farmer Ted’s Almanac & Mercantile. It is a literary journalism site that includes in depth stories about politics, in particular the anti-war movement, as well as has satire, a blog, and political poetry. Please give us a look if you have the time. As we grow we will be added many interactive features.

The flagship issue includes a story about Jeremy Hinzman, an Army Prvt. who has fled with his family top Canada. Coming up is an interview with Michael Berg, Father of Nick Berg who was murdered either by Iraqi resisters or members of America’s military/intelligence forces.

Has anyone read Freakonomics? The author lays some pretty controversial conclusions.

A short novel about the application in a business of the findings of
my PhD research - how CEOs deal with sustainability issues. It reflects the sort of work I have done with clients over
the past 25 years, but the research enabled me to articulate my ideas more
effectively. Briefly, if you want to deal with sustainability issues you
need to align the culture to the sustainability objectives. To do this the
CEOs I studied did the following:
- identify and correct inappropriate rights people perceive they have
- define necessary duties for people to perform
- establish a moral order that supports these rights and duties
- enage in actions that reinforce the rights, duties and moral order

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Please see the review and the press release for The Sustainable way linked at: http://intergon.net/tsw

Grand Rapids in the 1970s, an alternative view

Because when we forget our history, we tend to ignore our successes and repeat our errors, I have started the Grand Rapids, Michigan, Popular History Project to reprint articles and items from

New River Free Press, "Your Friendly Guide To Urban Survival & Improvement,"which set out to be Grand Rapids' Independent Voice from 1973 to 1977.

For most of its life, this community newspaper was lovingly hand-crafted on an IBM Selectric. All of its Bookman headlines were produced by individually hand-pressing transfer lettering.

You will find them on my website, US-India Writing Station.
