The twentieth anniversary of the murder of Amilcar Cabral is an opportune time to consider his achievements and the relevance of both his thought and practice – especially regarding events that are unfolding in Africa today.
Although Jeffers is celebrated as one of the great environmental poets, he was as enchanted by the wonders of nature, for he understood better than any artist since Whitman that these are parts of a single and awesome reality, and we are part of it too — not as spectators, not as explorers, but as living stardust.
On the 12th commemoration of Fukushima, one must wonder about the human species. Continuing to operate these dangerously deteriorated machines of mass murder while suppressing renewables is the 21st century definition of suicidal insanity.
Ever since the rise of capitalism and corporations, the manipulation of science has been at the centre of the endeavours of big companies and corporations – like those related to tobacco, asbestos, chemicals, fast food, and oil and gas. This is a threat to human existence as well as planet earth.
When the first modern humans arose in East Africa sometime between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago, we – meaning people of our species, Homo sapiens – were only one of several types of humans (or hominins) that simultaneously existed on Earth.
Article in memory of Nigerian writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, president of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), who was murdered 27 years ago by the military dictatorship in Nigeria in complicity with Shell oil company.
National Alliance of People’s Movements (NAPM), Gujarat, in a statement, has called the recent suicide of Darshan Solanki, a Dalit student of IIT, Bombay, as another “institutional murder” resulting from “crass caste discrimination” prevailing in India’s elite educational institutes.
Raisi’s visit to Beijing, the first for an Iranian president in 20 years, represents Tehran’s wholesale ‘Pivot to the East’ and China’s recognition of Iran’s centrality to its BRI plans.
His work is two-sided (or contradictory). Sen punches big holes in mainstream explanations for manifestations of poverty and deprivation that are caused, often directly, by capitalist development. And at the same time, Sen sets out a vision of development that promotes the expansion of capitalist markets.
Thoughts on the Mahatma’s 75th death anniversary.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
