Brewing Trouble: How to Drink Beer and Save the World
Written by Benjamin Dangl   
ImageBeer, like so many other products, is largely in the hands of giant corporations. Therefore, drinking beer can often enrich the same systems of power we as activists are fighting against. Fermenting Revolution: How To Drink Beer and Save the World by Christopher O’Brien is a book about how the people can take back the brew and join together in saying, “If I can’t drink good beer, it’s not my revolution.”

Author Haifa Zangana
We should all take a moment in this five year mark since the start of the Iraq War to observe and reflect on the suffering of Iraqi women, who have become invisible "collateral damage" in our country's war in this now defenseless Middle Eastern nation. A good place to start would be by picking up and reading Haifa Zangana's book, "City of Windows: An Iraqi Woman's Account of War and Resistance."

Colombia: One Million March Against Paramilitary Violence and War
Written by Anthony Boynton   
ImageMarch 6th, 2008 was a historic day for Colombia. It was the day the "other" Colombia took to the streets and put the whole country, and the world, on notice that state terrorism and paramilitary violence have failed. The marches were far more important than anyone could have imagined because the Colombian government had brought the country to the brink of war with Ecuador and Venezuela just the weekend before the marches were scheduled to happen.

Kosovo and Serbia: Behind the Mask of Nationalism
Written by Amy Miller   

Photo from news.serbianunity.netOver the last two years the question of Kosovo’s independence has totally dominated Serbian politics. During recent elections, politicians keenly used the controversy to their advantage, while neglecting to mention any social problems, such as the high unemployment rate, or rising cost of living within Serbia. Over the last decade, Serbia has seen a rapid transfer of socially owned companies into privately owned companies. It is the business tycoons, politicians and members of the bankruptcy courts that have all benefited from this change.

2008 Presidential Prospects for Progressives: Nader, the Greens, and Building a Movement
Written by Karl Hardy   
ImageWhile the presidential primary season lurches onward with Obama and Hillary struggling to secure the Democrat nomination, progressives are finding themselves in a predicament similar to both 2000 and 2004. The question, yet again, is whether or not to hold your nose and vote for the "lesser of two evils" (or, if you will, against the Republican Party) OR vote your conscience in support of a true progressive.

Canada’s War on Terror and Immigrant Rights
Written by Reuel S. Amdur   
Photo from amnesty.caWhile there are undoubtedly real concerns about protecting Canada from undesirable and even dangerous immigrants, the procedures used have been less than fair, subjecting current suspects to years of imprisonment and onerous bail conditions without adequate opportunity to address the government’s information.
