*TOMORROW* TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15 - WOMEN CONFRONTING GLOBALIZATION: CULTURAL RESISTANCE, FAIR TRADE AND HUMAN RIGHTS @ IBOOKS, 7pm

Next Tuesday please help us welcome 'Women Confronting Globalization:
Cultural Resistance, Fair Trade and Human Rights Tour' sponsored by the
Mexico Solidarity Network.

Since the Zapatista uprising began on January 1, 1994, (the first day
that NAFTA went into effect) the Mexican military and paramilitaries
have waged a counter insurgency war against Zapatista and sympathizer
communities. Eleven years after the uprising, human rights abuses are
rampant. But these communities are developing new collective strategies
of resistance. Women are playing leading roles on all fronts in the
struggle to build alternatives. Fair trade cooperatives provide a space
for women to engage in decision-making and leadership roles, while
organizing with other women.

Speakers featured:

Gabriela Martínez López is a sociologist and researcher who worked with
the Center of Political Analysis and Social and Economic Research
(CAPISE) in Chiapas, Mexico. Jennifer Miller is the Alternative Economy
Coordinator in for the Mexico Solidarity Network. Mujeres por la
Dignidad (Women for Dignity)-Participating via video message, Mujeres
por la Dignidad is a cooperative of several hundred Zapatista indigenous
weavers in Chiapas, Mexico.

*WEDNESDAYS*, NOVEMBER 16 & 30 - 'SEARCHING FOR RADICAL IDEAS?' SERIES
WITH PROFESSOR WILLIAM MANSON @ IBOOKS, 6:30pm

Internationalist Books is proud to announce the second in a series of informal talks by radical philosopher/anthropologist William Manson held this Wednesday evening at 6:30pm. Activists often seek a greater understanding of radical theory and these discussions seek to enlighten those who are looking to broaden their base of knowledge.

November 16 -- GREEN ANARCHISM: What is green anarchism and its related
ideas of neo-Luddism, radical ecology, and ecopsychology?

November 30 -- REVIVING RADICAL HUMANISM: Discussing universal rights
and liberties. "The free development of each is based on the free
developing of all."

William Manson (Ph.D., Columbia) has written books and articles on
psychoanalytic anthropology and social theory. For many years an
adjunct professor at Rutgers and Columbia, he is now teaching such
courses as "Dissent & Integrity" and "Technology in Question" at Duke's
Continuing Studies.
