The latest issue of "Turning the Tide: Journal of Anti-Racist Action, Research & Education," Volume 18, Number 5, November-December 2005, is now available. The issue features "The Five Faces of Fascism" by TTT editor Michael Novick, of Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART), as well as "Apocalypse Now -- Sleepwalking to the End of the Earth" by Maria Gilardin of TUC Radio; and "Charting the Journey Home: Report from the Second US Conference on Peak Oil," by Megan Quinn of The Community Solution. The issue also includes a report from the Anti-Racist Action Network about a Toledo (OH) community fighting back against neo-nazis and racist police, as well as an ARA call to anti-nazi action in Kingston, NY, and ARA's Four Points of Unity. Another report from the Lafayette, Lousiana chapter of Anti-Racist Action recounts grassroots direct action on behalf of victims of Hurricane Katrina and US government attacks in its wake. A broader look at Katrina and its aftermath, emphasizing the need for self-determination, comes from the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement.
A regular feature of "Turning the Tide" is commentary by former Black Panther and death row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, and this issue features Mumia's unheard address to the Millions More Movement march in Washington DC. Complementing Mumia's piece is an article by former CA death row inmate Kalima Aswad, now a political prisoner in Vacaville, about stopping the state's plans to execute Stanley "Tookie" Williams on December 13. A piece from the Jericho Amnesty Coalition looks at the December 3 International Day in Solidarity with Political Prisoners and a day-long teach-in and political-cultural event that will take place on that date in LA (along with related events around the US and the globe). Rounding out the issue is a call for solidarity with Argentina's autonomist workers (depicted in the film "The Take") to defend their takeover of an abandoned hotel in Buenos Aires. Free samples of the latest issue are available on request from ARA-LA/PART, PO Box 1055, Culver City CA 90232 (US addresses only for free sample copies). TTT is also free to prisoners. A one-year, six-issue subscription is $16 in the US, or $26US overseas, payable to Michael Novick, and sent to ARA, PO Box 1055, Culver City CA 90232. ------------------------ Yahoo!
