The Challenge in Facing 4 July in the United States

There has been something almost surreal in President Donald Trump’s efforts to both whitewash US history as well as make 4 July a celebration of his own delusional greatness.

The Colonised Feet that now carry the White World

Look carefully. The so-called ‘white nations’ of world football are no longer carried only by ‘white bodies’, white histories, white churches or white bloodlines. They are carried, again and again, by the children of Africa, the Caribbean, the Arab world, Asia, Latin America – migrant neighbourhoods, refugee homes, working-class suburbs and postcolonial memory. This is the story. What is (…)

In Defense of the Fourth of July

The Declaration of Independence has been quoted by abolitionists, suffragists, socialists, civil rights activists, and the Black Panthers. Why should conservatives get to own it now? "The 4th day of July, as a national holiday, commemorates an event which ought to be very dear to American workingmen," claimed Socialist leader Eugene V.

British bases on the island have supported Israeli and US military activity across the region; the Republic of Cyprus has expanded defence cooperation with the United States, Israel, France, and Greece; and Northern Cyprus has been integrated more deeply into Turkey’s military (…)

Iran’s Remaining Two Vows

As Iran braces to change the global landscape of war and peace, of imperial conquest and its nemesis in a people who refuse to be afraid of dying for their nation’s self-respect, for their abiding pride in a mesmeric culture of poetry, inclusion and reflection, where do its friends and foes go from here? An all but signed agreement for permanent peace with the US promises to leave Israel out (…)

When Peoples Fall Asleep

When the acclaimed actor, Richard Gere, recently described Donald Trump as a "maniac" and lamented that the United States was experiencing one of its darkest moments, he added a remark that deserves particular attention: "We went to sleep. We didn’t care. We didn’t vote. We didn’t really listen." Beyond the controversy surrounding Trump himself, Gere’s words point to a broader and more (…)
