Walking On Water

Reading, Writing, And Revolution

BY DERRICK JENSEN
In a new paperback edition, Walking on Water is a startling and provocative look at teaching, writing, creativity, and life by a writer increasingly recognized for his passionate and articulate critique of modern civilization. Derrick Jensen brings us into his classroom?whether college or maximum security prison?where he teaches writing. He reveals how schools perpetuate the great illusion that happiness lies outside of ourselves and that learning to please and submit to those in power makes us into lifelong clock-watchers. As a writing teacher Jensen guides his students out of the confines of traditional education to find their own voices, freedom, and creativity.

We Felt Their Kindliness

An American Family’s Afghan Odyssey (1949-1951)

EDITED BY OS CRESSON
Rebecca & Osborne Cresson lived in Afghanistan for 2 years with their daughter, Wetherill (8) and son, Os (7). Osborne taught math in high school and Rebecca taught elementary school. They believed that a practical way to build world peace is for families to go and live among people whose ways differ from their own. While teaching and homemaking, visiting and traveling, Osborne recorded the scene with a camera and Rebecca with pen and paper. This is a glimpse of the Afghan people, only a few years after their country started to admit foreigners. Although the materials are over 50 years old, the culture described is still present in Afghanistan today.

Why Civil Resistance Works

The Strategic Logic Of Nonviolent Conflict

BY ERICA CHENOWETH
For more than a century, from 1900 to 2006, campaigns of nonviolent resistance were more than twice as effective as their violent counterparts in achieving their stated goals. By attracting impressive support from citizens, whose activism takes the form of protests, boycotts, civil disobedience, and other forms of nonviolent noncooperation, these efforts help separate regimes from their main sources of power and produce remarkable results, even in Iran, Burma, the Philippines, and the Palestinian Territories.

Dispatches On The Myth Of Human Progress

BY CHRIS HEDGES
