 Cancer in the Body Politic
Diagnosis and Prescription for an America in Decline
by Peter D. Mott, M.D
Peter Mott has brought together his life as a
physician and his activism on behalf of human rights
to give us what he calls a “diagnosis and prescription”
for our nation, which badly needs both. This is a work
of both fact and imagination, with a spiritual thread,
a moral center, and it comes at a time in our history
when we can use both common sense about the
present and hope for the future.
- Howard Zinn, Professor Emeritus,
History, Boston University
This book is at once a diagnosis of the oncoming
American tragedy by an experienced physician,
and a call to — and prescription for — action from
a long-time, highly knowledgeable activist. His first-hand experiences,
notably in the United States and Latin America, deserve attention
and, one hopes, will fuel discussions that help produce policies
radically different from those of the recent past.
- Walter LaFeber, Author of America, Russia, and the Cold war, 1945-2006

 Faithful Community
by Philip E. Wheaton
Faithful Community documents the growth and constant revival of a Christian base community (CBC) in northern Nicaragua. The author, long time activist and liberation theologist, presents a story of survival and hope in the midst of extreme suffering and despair. Despite the community's castigation and rejection by the Catholic hierarchy simply because of their rfusal to denounce their loyalty to the Sandanista Revolution, they have become one of the largest Christian base communities in Nicaragua today.
 Haiti Human Rights Investigation
November 11-21, 2004
by Thomas M. Griffin, Esq.
As the most comprehensive and truthful report to date on Haiti this report serves as a great resource for academics, students, and policy makers alike! This report documents the human rights investigation led by Thomas M. Griffin, Esq. in November of 2004. While in Haiti the delegation met with businessmen, grassroots leaders, gang members, victims of human rights violations, lawyers, human rights groups, and police and officials from the UN and the Haitian and U.S. governments, and conducted observations in poor neighborhoods, police stations, prisons, hospitals, and the state morgue. This report presents an objective and clear analysis of the human rights situation in present day Haiti. The varied actors involved in the current violence are also highlighted presenting many different perspectives including those of the economically powerful, the military, victims of torture, human rights monitors, and legal experts. The report concludes that many Haitians, especially those living in poor neighborhoods, now struggle against inhuman horror.
 ¡Ya
Basta! 10 Years Of The Zapatista Uprising:
Writings by Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos
Forewords by Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein, Edited by Ziga Vodovnik
"The Zapatista uprising in Chiapas was certainly
one of the most dramatic and important instances in our time of a genuine
grassroots movement against oppression. In this volume, the writings
of Subcomandante Marcos give eloquent expression to this movement, revealing
both its philosophical foundations and its tactical ingenuity. I believe
his words and the statements of the Zapatistas can inspire a new generation
of activists and let them understand that it is possible for ordinary
people, without military power, without wealth, to challenge state power
successfully on behalf of social justice." -Howard Zinn
