53 years ago, Jan 22 1969, students at UC Berkeley began a three-month strike. Led by the Third World Liberation Front, a coalition of Black, Mexican-American, Asian-American, and Native American student groups, the strike led to the creation of the Ethnic Studies Department

Not all books from diverse authors need to be inspired by their own cultures. Seeking diverse voices only for the books with “traditional aesthetics” is unfair. Sometimes we want to create original worlds too. But that doesn’t change the fact that we are still v much marginalized

C'est absolument dingue ! En 1947, la télévision française avait demandé à René Barjavel d'imaginer le futur. Exercice oh combien casse gueule. Et bien ses prédictions sont stupéfiantes !!!! Internet Iphone tout y est !!! Un visionnaire.

Great essay by Joel Whitney on new edition of Miguel Angel Asturias. Had no idea of extent to which the CIA shadow banned him, via its cultural Cold War programs. publicbooks.org/a-novel-the-ci…

A preview of my new book "The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart." I look at how capitalism depends on manufactured insecurity to function and how indignation at this fact can help coalesce the movements we need change things. nytimes.com/2023/08/18/opi…

DO NOT LET THE SCHOOL FORGET THIS. WHEN UCSD PRAISES ITS HISTORY OF STUDENT ACTIVISM, REMEMBER — THIS IS HOW THEY RESPONDED.

While you’re enjoying strawberries this summer, please remember the folks who work so hard to help bring them to your home. Thank you to the workers of the Reagan family farm in Arkansas and all the farm workers who work under difficult conditions to bring produce to our tables.

"Son muchos. Vienen a pie, vienen riendo. Bajaron por Melchor Ocampo, la Reforma, Juárez, Cinco de Mayo, muchachos y muchachas estudiantes que van del brazo en la manifestación con la misma alegría con que hace apenas unos días iban a la feria; jóvenes despreocupados que no saben
