Dear Readers,

We are pleased to announce the release of June issue of our
newsletter after a delay of many months. In this issue, we have:

1. "The dream of a better world is back" by Alain Gresh

For two decades, from the sierras of Latin America to the paddy
fields of Asia and the mountains of North Africa, a single hurricane
seemed to be sweeping away the old colonial order and the economic
dominance of the North. As the title of a 1977 documentary by Chris
Marker depicting revolutionary struggles from Paris to La Paz put it:
âDeep down the air is redâ (Le fond de lâair est rouge). More

2. "The Westâs selective reading of history" by Alain Gresh

Shortly after the first world war, the French literary critic and
historian Henri Massis (1886-1970) preached a crusade against the
dangers threatening European values and thought â largely identified
with those of France, in his mind. More at:

3. "How to begin from the beginning" by Slavoj ÅiÅek

War against all odds, had to retreat into the New Economic Policy of
allowing a much wider scope to the market economy and private
propertyâLenin uses the analogy of a climber who must backtrack from
his first attempt to reach a new mountain peak to describe what
retreat means in a revolutionary process. More at:

4. âHow faithlessness stalked meâ

An âinterviewâ with Charles Darwin in which he describes how he
became a student of nature, his initiation into the theory of
evolution, and his religious scruples. It seemed he knew the trouble
he was getting into..More at: http://forliberation.org/wp/?p=65

5. " A crisis foretold" by Michael T. Klare

The world economic meltdown was foreshadowed in many countries by
food riots, protests against unemployment, government ineptitude and
failure to address the needs of the poor. That anger and fear may
outlive the end of the current crisis..More at:

6. "Obamaâs Afghanistan" by William J Astore

The Af-Pak war is unlikely to become a real Vietnam in scale, but it
may have the capacity to inflict upon the US the sort of defeat the US
itself once helped inflict upon the Russians.
