Focus on the Americas with Blase Bonpane, Ph.D. Building Communities of Resistance
Date: 7/10/1991Call Number: JG/ 083AFormat: Cass AProducers: Judy GerberCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Bonpane discusses a need to build communities of resistance. Speaks about the population's general acceptance of hearsay excuses to invade countries (e.g. nuclear potential) and to invade homes on the domestic front (e.g. drugs), the criminalization of poverty, support for the Gulf War, and sanctions (i.e. starvation and torture of the civilian population) against Iraq and other countries. Discusses downfalls of US foreign policy noting Nicaragua and El Salvador as examples and argues against defending an institution or a nation "as if it were an idol and can do no wrong." Calls for citizens to seek knowledge as collaborative effort in order to thwart the depression of facing these issues alone. Instead to celebrate life, community, struggle and knowledge. To use as resources the media, government, education and mass mobilization to bring about change.
Howard Zinn: Resistance and the Role of Artists
Date: 2/6/2004Call Number: CD 305Format: CDProducers: Alternative RadioProgram: ZINH32Collection: Compact discs and videos representing digitized copies of analog tapes
Artists have always been on the cutting edge of society. They are the innovators as well as the seers. Go back to Aeschylus, the great 5th century BC Greek playwright who wrote "The Persians." This classic drama was a warning to the Greeks to not be consumed by the same arrogance that was undoing of the Persians. Power thinks it's infallible and eternal. Artists puncture holes in these illusions. Today, writers, musicians, poets, filmmakers, and actors like Michael Franti, Alice Walker, Danny Glover, Radiohead, Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Bonnie Raitt and many others challenge the political orthodoxy. For daring to speak out they incur the wrath and scorn of the super patriots that dominate the airwaves.
