The Legacy of Columbus HOWARD ZINN “What can I say that will in any way convey the love, respect, and admiration I feel for this unassuming hero who was my teacher and mentor.” —Alice Walker
Recorded on the eve of the quincentennial, legendary historian Howard Zinn discusses the legacy of Columbus, including 500 years of indigenous resistance. He returns to the themes he popularized in his masterful A People’s History of the United States—how we interpret history, and what that tells us about the struggles of the vast majority of folks typically written out of the narrative. With his trademark wit, erudition, and generosity, Zinn stands history on its head, to better illuminate, understand, and act upon the past, present, and future. OCT 2011

The efforts of Zinn to recover and pass on stories of civil disobedience to the wars of U.S. history offers models, ideas, and inspirations for how and why we might go about challenging and changing the structures of power.

STUFFED AND STARVED RAJ PATEL
On this audio CD lecture, Patel talks about his comprehensive investigation into the global food network while writing his bestselling book of the same name. It took him from the colossal supermarkets of California to India’s wrecked paddy fields and Africa’s bankrupt coffee farms, while along the way he ate genetically engineered soy beans and dodged flying objects in the protestor-packed streets of South Korea. What he found was shocking, from the false choices given us by supermarkets to a global epidemic of farmer suicides, and real reasons for famine in Asia and Africa. MAR 2010
