Symbolism of the Color Red in the Red Convertible The Red Convertible by Louise Erdrich is more than an emotional story about the lives of two brothers who grew up together on an Indian reservation. She uses a writing style that allows the reader to understand the text, while providing the opportunity to read into the story. Erdrich uses metaphors, symbols, imagery to describe and define the brothers Henry and Lyman’s relationship. The two brothers purchased the red convertible together. The purchase defined their relationship and sense of adventure. The red coloration of the vehicle represents blood- the ultimate link of brotherhood.
The red convertible went from taking these two brothers on the adventure of a lifetime to returning them to face war. The two take off one summer on a road trip that ends them in Alaska. When they returned home, Henry was drafted into the army. Before leaving for Vietnam, Henry uses the car to express his love for his brother by throwing the keys at him and saying the car is his. Three years later, Henry finally returned home only to be a much different person than the one that had left. The color red is a consistent symbol throughout the story, as it is a word in the title.
The color red has numerous symbolic meanings. It can be interpreted differently depending on the situation and experiences of an individual. Red can create a variety of emotions ranging from love to violence and war. Many cultures associate red with purity, joy and celebration. In China red is the color of happiness, prosperity and good luck. In the Native American culture, the color of red represents faith and communication. The title of the story is the main source of communication between the brothers In America, there are two associations made by the color red.
The first is positive which includes passion, strength, love and energy. These concepts are seen throughout the story, and are connected with Lyman, the younger brother. He was energetic and lucky. He states, “I could always make money. I had the touch for it.. ” “it seemed the more I made the easier the money came. ” (p. 394). The second connection is found with the color red in the story are the American ideas of the negative things found in association with it. These things included blood, aggression, danger and war. These negative associations are connected with Henry throughout the story.
When he returns home from war, Lyman says “once I was in the room watching TV with Henry, I looked over, and he’d bitten through his lip. Blood was going down his chin”. This depiction is important because not only does it show Henry’s misdirected aggression, but again uses red. “There was still blood going down Henry’s chin, but he didn’t notice”, in this we see how a color once associated with the car that made Henry so happy, has become a body fluid going unnoticed (p. 396). In the end, the brothers appear to have a dispute over the car because Henry again wants Lyman to have it. Henry tells Lyman to take good care of it.
Henry then walks into the river and drowns. Lyman unsuccessfully attempts to rescue Henry. He lets the car go into the river to be with his brother. The symbolism of the red convertible is the main metaphor for brotherhood theme in this story and focused on their connection to each other with the care; however, the color of red throughout provides a much more profound meaning. Edrich wants readers of all backgrounds to find some relationship with the color red. If any other color was used for the car, there might not be a deeper meaning that Erdrich was trying to reveal in the simply-complexity of the story.

The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad
Classic fantasy movie --- Saw it when I was a kid on the BIG SCREEN, loved it then and still do. I got my grandson to watch it ,now hes a fan, also Jason and the Argonauts. I only have one ( ouch) complaint and I can still bite the bullet and enjoy this great movie and that is, the Genie. I think they should have got someone else for the part. The boy although sincere enough, seemed out of place. He would have been better in a modern day mystery film example. New York, Chicago, city kid stuff mystery.
Another favorite film from Ray Harryhausen
- Julia Arsenault
Another favorite film from special-effects wizard Ray Harryhausen (I only have four favorites), and also another princess to add to my list of my favorite movie princesses - The Princess Parisa (as I said, it might seem strange to you folks but... that's me). Also, as I said before, I'm starting to love fantasy movies (animated or live action) set in Arabia. I would like to point out and inside-joke I have found in the film : The villain, the magician Sokurah almost sounds like "Sakura" which is Japanese for "cherry-blossom."In the film, Kerwin Matthews stars as the legendary sailor. To save Princess Parisa (who has been shrunk down to the size of a thumb) from the evil Sakourah (Torin Thatcher), Sinbad must battle several fabulous monsters,to get piece of a Roc's egg shell to restore Parisa to normal size; and with a little help from the genie of the lamp, Bronni (thought the magic lamp is from the story of Aladdin, and also I have read the original adventures of Sinbad). The monsters include a cyclops, and a dragon. He also fences against an animated skeleton. The dragon died, Sinbad rescued his princess. Anything else I would like to say about this film, is that it is an excellent film, with thrilling action/adventure,romance and wonderful music too.
Ray Harryhausen's Classic Epic Fantasy Film !
Truly one if not the Greatest stop-action fantasy films ever made ! Kerwin Matheews stars as Capt. Sinbad, in search of the eggshell of the Roc, to restore Princess Parisa( Kathryn Grayson), who was bewithed by the evil Sohkura(Torin Thatcher). They must travel to the island of Colassa, where they must overcome the One-eyed Cyclops, and many other evils! A story for the ages with the incomparable music score of Bernard Herrmann, which was a best-seller of its own! This film is a 10 ! Available in Blu-ray and DVD, but , prefer the Blu-ray....
A Classic for Lifes Significance
I was fortunate to view this adventure at the age of 7 yrs. (1965) and it opened my mind to what could only be described as ... "Life is a course that you "must" control, and not be led along by!"(I retired at 44 yrs. of age.) I encouraged both of my Granddaughters to view this masterpiece, which they have more than once I might add, and to understand the powerful meaning it had to me. At 11 & 8 yrs, of age.. both understand its "significance" as I understood it 43 yrs. ago. Thanks
The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)
The ability to have my grandson who is five years old be able to see this movie was great it was awesome to him. Can you advise me as to when this movie will be played again or where I can obtain it on dvd? Thanks.

Yesterday was the opening day of our summer sale and the workshop on the Pooling technique was also scheduled. What genius planned that? I would have to take full credit for the doubling up – I had a DUH! moment! It was a busy but a great day.
I wasn’t so sure at 6:15am when I awoke to the sound of rain – we weren’t supposed to get any rain until Saturday! Emily said that she could hear the words all the way across town. Why words? I had planned the workshop to be outside! I started to watch the sky and by the time 9:00am rolled around it was breaking up. The class was still outside – a very nice place to be! Outside of a couple of issues with yarn winding, and the uncertainty about the weather. Needles started flying and colours started pooling. We learned how to lay out our yarns – or maybe we were praying to the yarn gods for success!
After a hard day of knitting the results were incredible!

How Tel Aviv became big business in Hollywood
Could Israel's newest export reshape its image?
(Page 2 - Previous Page)
Israel’s population is estimated at about 8 million people, according to the most recent data published by The World Bank. Not exactly the kind of numbers to support a blockbuster movie opening each weekend, unless, of course, nearly every person in the country were to attend. In raw numbers, the Israeli population could barely support the work of even one major Hollywood studio each year, and the number goes down even further when you factor out Arabic-speaking Arab-Israelis and Palestinians (about 1.6 million people), and ultra-Orthodox Jews (about 1 million), who are not entertainment consumers.
“The Israeli market is bound by two parameters that are unchangeable,” said Tishby, who is now based in Los Angeles. One is size, the other is taste. Tishby should know — she, along with Rosen, is credited for selling Hagai Levi’s “BeTipul” to HBO, where it became “In Treatment,” the first Israeli format to be reworked for the United States. On the one hand, commercial possibilities are limited, because Israelis cannot support expensive entertainment. But on the other hand, “The palate of the viewers is highly sophisticated; Israelis are a very tough audience — highly educated, very opinionated — and will turn off the TV and give you crap in the forums on the Internet within five minutes if they don’t like what you do. When you put these two parameters together — highly sophisticated palate and no money — you have to come up with great scripts.”
There are currently five film schools in Israel, but the television industry is relatively young. At Israel’s founding, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion resisted the introduction of television into Israeli society, fearing it would “undermine his attempt to create a unique Israeli culture,” according to Weizmann Institute of Science scholar Nechemia Meyers. But history would soon demand it: During the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, Ben-Gurion launched a single, state-regulated channel to “combat Arab propaganda,” according to The Wall Street Journal. But it wasn’t until 1993 that that same channel — now known as Channel 2 — became a commercial enterprise, airing American television shows such as “Seinfeld” and “Friends.” The government quickly realized that the popularity of American TV was a threat to local productions, however, so in the early 2000s, it began regulating how much airtime could be devoted to local and how much to foreign broadcasts; today, the government mandates that 40 to 50 percent of Israel’s broadcast content must be produced locally.
“We’re dealing with a lot of limitations that actually force us to be more creative,” said Lisa Shiloach-Uzrad, a producer with Israel’s July August Productions and a creator of the NBC game show “Who’s Still Standing?” which completed its first run on Jan. 30. As it turns out, an expanding industry in a limited economy is not such a terrible problem. “Culturally,” Shiloach-Uzrad said, “we are narrowing down.” In fact, the globalization of entertainment has made possible Israel’s reach beyond its own borders. “For Israel to be successful, their ideas have to travel around the world,” said Ben Silverman, CEO of Electus. “Hollywood is just one stop on that journey.”
The television format industry is one way to play on an international stage. With the buying and selling of formats, a concept from one place can be replicated to suit an audience half a world away. “Most Americans don’t know that ‘Ugly Betty’ started as a Colombian soap opera, that ‘The Office’ started as a British TV show, that ‘Big Brother’ started as Dutch, that ‘Survivor’ was a Scandinavian show created by a British guy,” Silverman added. As happened with the high-tech industry, Israeli ideas are now sold as a kind of intellectual capital around the world.
“Any format, any TV show, is a like a start-up,” explained Avi Armoza, a leading Israeli television producer who was seminal in packaging shows for the global market. “What we are doing is selling the brain.”
This course, Armoza pointed out, is safer and more secure than expanding at home. Although government and city officials long have been trying to lure Hollywood production to come to Israel, the costs of working there are astronomical. Insuring a production in one of the most volatile regions of the world is deterrent enough, but the country has also failed to incentivize film production with enough tax breaks to mitigate the time and expense of extensive travel.
As with anything, there can be dangers in success, and the goals of the two industries do not always align. On the American side, there is concern that Israelis will be compromise their product in order to make a sale. “You don’t build a company and think about the exit,” Tishby said. “Writing a show with the intention of selling it to America misses the point, because a lot of times [Israelis] will write things that are ‘American,’ and they lack the authenticity of a creator who’s writing something from the heart.”

In this special webinar on Heritage Communities, David Yarnes, Rick Joyner and David Herr (Sales Manager, Heritage Lifestyle Communities) share about the current happenings at Heritage. Rick shares about the vision for Heritage and how the Tower is still a crucial element of the community that is being developed at Heritage. The battle over the Tower shows just how significant it is. While we continue to battle this front, the community at Heritage continues to grow. This is in large part due to the Heritage Courts active adult community that has already started to form. We have 40 units total at this time, with many of them already purchased and occupied. People are moving here to be a part of a "refirement" lifestyle instead of a "retirement" lifestyle. They are getting involved in intercession and other vital support roles within the ministry. The Church is a community and if we are going to make it through the times to come, we have to become the community which we are called to be in the body of Christ. For some of you, this may involve the Heritage Courts Community!

text: Oh yeahhh. This is another one of my blends, Black Cherry and French Vanilla matcha. I decided to put it under the black cherry because it just seems like the fruit is a bit more of the center when blended with french vanilla. I don’t really know the ratio, it was close to half and half, maybe a touch more cherry? In total, about 1 tsp of matcha, maybe a bit more. Whisked it up, didn’t have quite enough water I don’t think because it wasn’t frothing that much, so I added a bit more and then there were bubbles! Once again, just hot water in this, as I am going to try to introduce my friend to matcha later this evening and she will probably want a latte haha, I might make an almond or caramel one with milk for us :D. This smelled kind of funky, like a weird creamy cherry haha, but it tastes pretty good! The creaminess is definitely present, with a lovely fresh cherry aftertaste! The black cherry by itself is a lot more in your face cherry punch, but this is a nice mellow sweet thing! No added sugar required! And the matcha flavor is still there too :) I like the French Vanilla flavor in this! Score for a tasty mix, much preferring this than the blend of blueberry and french vanilla. Huzzah for my new matcha obsession (addiction?). Also, random note so I don’t forget, I need to try adding honey one of these times just to see what happens hehe.


Who Did Nicki Minaj Get Mistaken For?
Just like any other celebrity, Nicki Minaj has had her fair share of mistaken identities. Whether it’s due to a passing glance or an uncanny resemblance, fans and the media have occasionally confused her with other famous individuals. Let’s take a closer look at some instances where Nicki Minaj was mistaken for someone else.
One of the most notable cases of mistaken identity involving Nicki Minaj was when she was often compared to Mariah Carey. Both women are known for their powerful voices and larger-than-life personalities, which may have contributed to the confusion. However, it’s important to note that they have completely different styles and musical genres.
In an interview, Nicki addressed the comparisons and said, “I have great respect for Mariah Carey and her talent, but we are two distinct individuals with our own unique artistry.”
Another artist frequently mistaken for Nicki Minaj is Lil’ Kim. As both rappers have made significant contributions to the hip-hop industry, it’s not surprising that people occasionally mix them up. However, there are noticeable differences in their looks and musical styles.
Nicki herself has acknowledged Lil’ Kim’s influence on her career, but she also emphasizes that she is forging her own path in the industry.
Nicki Minaj’s striking features have led to occasional comparisons with Barbadian singer Rihanna. Both women are known for their bold fashion choices and chart-topping hits. However, their music styles differ greatly.
Nicki has expressed admiration for Rihanna’s talent and success, but she asserts that she is unique in her own right.
The Importance of Individuality
While it can be flattering to be compared to successful artists, it’s crucial to recognize and celebrate individuality. Nicki Minaj has worked hard to establish herself as a distinct artist with her own style, image, and sound. Mistaken identities can sometimes overshadow an artist’s individual achievements.
It’s important for fans and the media to appreciate each artist for their unique contributions, rather than perpetuating mistaken identities or comparisons that may diminish their individuality.
In conclusion, Nicki Minaj has been mistakenly identified as various other artists throughout her career. From Mariah Carey to Lil’ Kim and Rihanna, these comparisons do not define her as an artist. Nicki Minaj’s talent, creativity, and individuality set her apart in the music industry.
Let us celebrate the uniqueness of each artist and appreciate their contributions to the world of music.

The Penny Alms Houses,
A perfect example of 18th century alms houses, this example was erected in 1720, altered during the early 20th century, and restored to near perfect condition in 1974. The alms houses and the small chapel at the rear of the yard are surrounded by a rubble boundary wall. The whole consists of two ranges of six houses forming a narrow courtyard with a chapel at the West end.
The alms houses were funded and built by William Penny, who was at various times a Lancaster town council member and three times city mayor. When King Street was widened in the early part of the 20th century, two of the alms houses nearest the road were demolished, the chapel was shortened and two new alms houses were built nearer the chapel.

Liga MX Side Atlas Turns Down Offer Of $960K From Jalisco State Governor
Due to the "huge controversy that it generated, politically as much as socially," Liga MX side Atlas has declined the 12M pesos ($960,000) it had been offered by Mexican state Jalisco Governor Jorge Aristóteles Sandoval after Atlas's petition for government support, according to Rigoberto Juárez of LA AFICION. Atlas President Eugenio Ruiz Orozco said, "It is very clear to us that public resources are not meant to attend to private problems. Atlas is not a private institution, it is a social service institution and that is why we are surprised by the media attention given to our request. We appreciate the governor's time but we have made the decision as a social organization to withdraw the request for support that we made to the government" (LA AFICION, 7/16).

On Monday, Judge Sue L. Robinson accused the NFL of overreacting to public opinion in administering the personal conduct policy. She didn’t realize that public opinion drives all politics.
The policy exists as a mechanism for the league to take action against players and others who get into trouble while not at work. For most employers, behavior outside of working hours is not the business of the employer. But the NFL has made these issues its concern, as the public expects action to be taken against those who potentially squander the “privilege” of being associated with The Shield by getting themselves into trouble when they don’t. not operate under its auspices.
Still, the personal conduct policy involves a bit of a public relations balancing act for the league. It’s one thing to act when a situation off the pitch has been widely covered, discussed and reviewed, like the Deshaun Watson case. When someone is in trouble and the media fails to notice, the league must choose between taking action — and thus turning non-story into story — or letting sleeping dogs lie.
A perfect example of this dynamic comes from the NFL’s handling of Cardinals running backs coach James Saxon. On Friday, it was first reported that he was arrested in May on domestic battery charges. After the report was released, the Cardinals placed Saxon on paid administrative leave, on the recommendation of the league.
This timeline has led many to infer that either Saxon didn’t tell the Cardinals about the situation, or the Cardinals didn’t tell the league. This is not the case; As coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters on Friday, the team knew about the arrest when it happened, and the team reported it to the league at the time.
The league, according to the team, did not recommend an administrative leave until today after the report was released.
The implication is obvious. The league did not want to create a story out of the arrest of the Saxons when such a story did not exist. If he had been on administrative leave at the time, someone would have asked, “Hey, where’s Coach Saxon?” Waiting deliberately, no one knew. Which saved the league from having to deal with a negative story about a coach being accused of home battery.
There is a certain hypocrisy in the league’s decision not to take action until it has to. The NFL will sanction employees and teams who do not immediately report incidents. But the NFL reserves the right to hide such incidents from the public, if they are not generally known. Then, once someone reports the issue, the league will do what it should have already done — but didn’t want to do because it preferred no one to know about the arrest.

Works Featuring Éowyn: The Lord of the Rings
When Sauron, creator of the One Ring and an evil entity bent on controlling Middle Earth, re-emerged, his agents spread throughout the world. Theoden was slowly dying thanks to his advisor Grima Wormtongue, agent of Sauron, who was poisoning him. Éowyn and her brother were unable to help their uncle, and Theoden, under Grima's control, promised Éowyn to the evil sorcerer.
Luckily, the remants of the Fellowship of the Ring came to Rohan seeking help, and the wizard Gandalf freed Theoden from Grima's control. Grima fled, and Éowyn was freed. She met and fell in love with Aragorn, the true but uncrowned king of Gondor, but while it appeared Aragorn returned her affection, he was still in love with the elf Arwen. Éowyn was crushed and felt trapped by her life as the leader of the Rohan in the absense of her brother and uncle, who had joined with Aragorn's forces to fight Sauron.
Along with the hobbit Merry, who had also been left behind by Aragorn and company, Éowyn was told she was too weak to fight in Rohan's army against Sauron. She defied her orders, took the name Dernhelm, and rode to the war alongside the Rohan with Merry at her side, in the disguise of a man.
At the Battle of Pelennor Fields, Éowyn watched in horror as her uncle was struck down by the Wraith King, leader of the ghostly Nazgul, who, it was said, could be defeated by no man. Éowyn faced the Wraith King, killing its steed, but Éowyn's shield was shattered and her arm broken. Merry, as the Wraith King prepared to kill Éowyn, struck the King's knee, allowing Éowyn to plunge her sword into the void of Wraith King's crown-helmet, killing him, fulfilling the prophecy that no man would defeat the Wraith King, but rather, a woman.
The blowback left Éowyn nearly dead and unconsciousness. She was saved from the battlefield and taken to the Houses of Healing. There, she met Faramir, the Stewart of Gondor, and fell in love with him. The two are married and raised a family, after the defeat of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring.
Other Versions: Éowyn has appeared in several film and cartoon adaptions of The Lord of the Rings, most notably portrayed by Miranda Otto in the Academy Award-winning film adaption by Peter Jackson. There were small changes to her character's plot but nothing significant. She also appeared in video game adaptions of the series.
Author David Eddings wrote the fantasy saga The Belgariad as a direct response to Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Eddings, who revealed many years after its initial publication that the books were co-written with his wife Leigh Eddings, believed that Tolkien's masterpiece failed completely in respect to its female characters. The Belgariad, with its main characters Polgara and Ce'Nedra, was designed to change that.
Now, after reading Éowyn's history, you might think that Tolkien did alright with women - after all, it was Éowyn, a woman, who took down the most powerful physical villain of the entire trilogy (Sauron only appears as an intangible force and looming eye in the sky). But, other than that, Éowyn still fails as a fully realized woman character. Tolkien's other women (basically, Arwen and Galadriel) are even worse.
Arwen appears only to be the love of Aragorn (the one he dumps Éowyn for), and she really only appears in the appendix to the sixth book. Galadriel refuses to truly help the fight, even though she is as powerful or more powerful than Gandalf. She is weak and cannot fight off the temptation of the One Ring. Éowyn's main personality is that of a whiny young woman who does not want to take her place as wife and mistress. She falls desperately in love at the drop of the hat. When she confronts the Wraith King, she does not do it out of bravery - she does it foolhardily and protecting her uncle's life is only a lucky by-product. She runs off to war only to follow Aragorn, who she has fallen in love with, not to protect the world.
And these are the women Tolkien gives us, in a world populated by strong, powerful men. It is both a failing of Tolkien's time and of Tolkien himself - both he and his friend CS Lewis were noted as not having the best female characters and possibly being misogynists (see: The Problem of Susan Pevensie). Éowyn could be heralded as a great female warrior, but instead, Tolkien gave her several negative attributes stereotypical of how women were viewed as being not as good as men. This wasn't rounding out her character - this was Tolkien having an inability to see a female warrior in equal stature to his male characters.
While it is she who defeats the Wraith King, the blow nearly kills Éowyn and Merry. It's almost like Tolkien's saying see: women can fight but they're going to screw it up. The men don't suffer similar fates when they fight - of the Fellowship, only Boromir perishes and he heroically sacrifices himself to save the others. Tolkien manages to imply in the text that what Éowyn does is brave but stupid. What Boromir does is heroic.
It's too bad. Éowyn is really really close to being one of the first great pre-feminist, genre heroines. Instead, we'd have to wait for Xena and Buffy to show us how women don't have to be defined by male strength.

In a speech in 1999, Henry Kissinger, secretary of state under Presidents Nixon and Ford, candidly remarked that globalization is another term for U.S. domination.1 Such clarity tends, in itself, to negatively answer the question posed in the title of this talk. How can anyone argue that U.S. domination—or using the less polite term, U.S. imperialism—is compatible with social justice?
Similarly, if we agree that a minimum precondition for any notion of social justice is the extension of people’s democratic ability to shape their lives, that too might reinforce skepticism about globalization’s compatibility with social justice. Especially if we see globalization as being largely about establishing global rules that act as a constitution for investor rights, and which are beyond any parliamentary challenges. And if we went further and defined a socially just world as one that supported the full and mutual development of the potential capacities of every individual, I imagine that many—if not most of us—would judge globalization to be inconsistent with that ideal.
And yet things refuse to stay that simple or clear. Even if Kissinger has helped us see the obvious, aren’t many countries, and citizens of those countries, anxious for U.S. investment? Isn’t it true that the Canadian government, far from being forced into the free trade agreement, begged for that integration into the United States? Is China wrong when it argues that access to U.s. markets, technology, and capital will facilitate its development and that such development is a critical base for social justice? Would we disagree with the World Bank when it argues that countries that have either rejected globalization, or are now being ignored by globalization, do not seem better off for that fact?
Part of the confusion lies in ambiguities about what we mean by globalization and how we think about social justice. But it is more than that: it is also that our sense of social justice is affected by what we believe is possible. In the absence of alternatives to the U.S. Empire, and in the absence of the political capacity to put such alternatives on the agenda, our dreams are trimmed to fit the bed of reality. Social justice is made compatible with globalization, not by transforming society, but by shrinking our ideals.
This limiting of hope was perhaps the main measure of the world-wide defeat of the last generation. In spite of the inspiration of Seattle and its aftermath, that sense of defeat is still pervasive. Social justice demands reviving the determination to dream. Its not just that dreaming is essential for maintaining any resistance, but because today, if we do not think big—as big as the globalizers themselves think—we will not even win small.
It’s from this perspective that I’d like to consider, and draw some conclusions from, two apparently opposite alternatives that try to find some compatibility between globalization and social justice: one seeks a return to the social democracy of capitalism’s golden age, while the other emphasizes building a community-based social economy. But first, a brief historical point on globalization.
Globalization is not new. A century and a half ago, Karl Marx noted the inherent capitalist drive to nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connections everywhere.…In place of the old national seclusion and self-sufficiency, we have intercourse in every direction, the universal interdependence of nations.2 By the last quarter of the nineteenth century, globalization was an assumed fact of life:
world commodity prices were the central reality in the lives of millions of Continental [European] peasants; the repercussions of the London market were daily noted by business men all over the world; and governments discussed plans for the future in light of the situation on the world capital markets. Only a madman would have doubted that the international economic system was the axis of the material existence of the human race.3
But if globalization was integral to capitalism, its long-term stability was far from inevitable. In fact, the very globalization which only a madman might have doubted at the end of the nineteenth century, came to a sudden and crashing halt early in the twentieth. That breakdown in world order came with the horrifying slaughter of the First World War, followed—after a brief respite in the 1920’s—by the stunning collapse of national economies in the form of the Great Depression and the political rise of German, Italian, and Japanese Fascism. And then came another horrific world war. This catastrophic failure of capitalism’s globalization meant that, by the end of the Second World War, the former glory of this system was replaced, as one observer summarized it, by …the amazing unpopularity of capitalism everywhere in Europe.…[and] everyone sought to appropriate left credentials.4
It was in response to that earlier failure that a new globalization was reconstructed. The U.S. state, with its overwhelming postwar resources and power, consciously shaped that globalization. It didn’t follow market pressures, but led them. Determined to avoid the disaster of the previous era of globalization and its threat to capitalism itself, the U.S. state set out to minimize the opposition between national and international economies. The goal was to rebuild devastated national economies while also integrating them into global networks. The U.S.-led internationalization of economic, political, and military ties didn’t weaken national states but, by supporting growth and weakening domestic opposition, it actually strengthened the national status quo and the national state.
Those first postwar decades managed to combine a less aggressive globalization, a space for national autonomy, and states responsive to popular pressures—factors which, together, brought growing material prosperity and a measure of equality. It’s therefore not surprising that some are still hanging on to a return to the structures of that earlier period as a practical response to making globalization more compatible with social justice.
The discouraging state of the present tends, however, to a wishful enhancement of the past. That golden age of capitalism, in fact, fell far short of any ideal of social justice: internal poverty persisted; the gap between the first world and the third, in spite of decolonization, widened; it was hardly a golden age for women or for U.S. blacks; workers still sold their labor and potentials to others, gaining the power to consume but not actively to shape their community; and corporate rule was not reduced but reinforced. The youth rebellions of the 1960s, we should remember, went beyond opposition to the war in Vietnam and reacted against the empty materialism of the times and—in the case of young factory workers—reacted against the contrast between their civil rights in society and the authoritarianism of their workplaces.
In any case, such a return to the past is simply not possible. History doesn’t allow us to go into reverse that easily. It is crucial to understand that neoliberalism and the speed-up of globalization over the past two decades didn’t just happen. They were a reaction to particular domestic and international developments within that golden age. Capitalism, as a social system, could not live with the rise in equality and security for workers. The working class victories and concessions from business were not calming but raising expectations, and they were undermining discipline: they were threatening profits, class power, and class rule. What were earlier viewed as measures of progress—higher wages, better social programs, greater security—were redefined as barriers that blocked capitalism’s own needs. And it was those needs which demanded the deepening and expansion of market-logic known as neoliberalism.
The intensification of globalization fit perfectly with neoliberalism. The changes in the degree of globalization in the seventies, and even more so after the eighties, had roots in longer term developments and especially in the U.S. response to new challenges from Europe, Japan, and third world rebellions. But it was also a logical extension of neoliberalism. Globalization provided, on behalf of capital, an additional disciplining pressure on domestic populations and institutions that was faceless, placeless, and bloodlessly unsympathetic.
The point is that the distance between the golden age and the present is about more than particular restorable policies. Major structural changes have occurred in the distribution of power and this includes changes within capitalist classes everywhere. It is clear, for example, that, at least since the free trade debates, it is no longer possible to talk about a Canadian business class oriented to national economic development. Every major sector of business is now dominated by an international, or more accurately, continental perspective. A nationalist alliance between progressive forces and sections of business, which some doubted was possible in the seventies, is certainly no longer possible given the changes since then.
Without that base of business support, any attempt to significantly change Canada will have to depend more than ever on a more mobilized popular base and will, of necessity, have to be more radical in terms of replacing unified and antagonistic corporate owners with democratic public ownership.
A quite different set of alternatives, rooted in the new movements rather than in the past, has recently emerged and drawn excitement. It has been loosely labeled the social economy. It has strong roots throughout the world and has developed a very significant base in Québec. It is remarkably diverse, so I want to be careful in generalizing about it, but some perspectives do seem widely common to its various components. There is a common antipathy against competition and the drive for profits, and a counterfocus on solidarity and production/exchange for use. And, like many others in the antiglobalization protests, it is skeptical of traditional left politics—that is, of political parties, of concerns with capturing state power, and of addressing how corporate property relations might be socialized and democratized. While it is generally a committed participant in the antiglobalization movement, its energy has increasingly been directed to the immediate development of an alternative economy—a social economy—at the community level.
There are appealing aspects to this orientation. Where it is involved with concrete issues of survival—addressing desperate community needs for food, water, health—it is clearly doing crucial work. Its diversity and role in mobilizing and developing technical and democratic skills is impressive. Its criticisms of traditional politics include observations that are clearly valid. And its determination to experiment with alternative forms of ownership and community participation include valuable lessons for any progressive movement.
Yet an obvious question emerges. If globalization is really so large in scale and scope, how can it be overcome by a movement that leaves corporate and state structures intact; that (implicitly at least) accepts continued private control of the overwhelming proportion of our common resources and society’s accumulated knowledge; that restricts itself, apparently permanently, to the fringes of social decision-making and power?
The global establishment, in spite of some initial nervousness, has come to understand that this movement for a social economy, when it does not aim higher, is not a threat. It has consequently been rather accommodating to it, describing it as the newly emerging global civil society and as globalization from below.5 Corporations, banks, private foundations, governments, and regional institutions have been happy and sometimes anxious to provide funding. And in the absence of a political context, all have been happy to incorporate the abstract language of empowerment, community democracy, and capacities.
It is not just that the elites view this trend as being safe, but that they also see it as being functional to globalization. With privatization and the erosion of social services, the attempt to provide decentralized alternatives may—inadvertently—legitimate, or at least act to limit opposition to, the regressive changes. In extreme but not uncommon cases, like the Québec Solidarity Fund with its tax breaks to create worker-investors, government partnerships directly integrate social economy institutions into the state.
Again, I want to be careful not to ignore differences within this movement. It is one thing, as in Porto Alegre, where the movement includes many activists tied to a larger, politicized, anticapitalist project. But where this is not the case, the social economy movement ironically suffers from the same limits it sees in the social democratic parties it has so much contempt for. Not oriented to mobilizing against corporate power, it becomes either peripheral to change or is incorporated into the system.
Just as globalization can’t be changed by a retreat into the past, it can’t be changed by a retreat to its margins. What Marx understood so well when he criticized the Utopians of his time was that if you don’t bring your dreams into the belly of the beast—if you try to build around, rather than against global power—you ultimately offer illusions rather than hope. Globalization and social justice can’t be made compatible by leaving globalization intact and confining social justice to the world outside globalization’s walls.
But is there any basis for believing that globalization, that is to say modern capitalism, can be challenged? There are those who believe that capitalism will collapse from its internal contradictions; I consider this to be one of the weakest aspects of the Marxist legacy. There are, I believe, particular developments within capitalism that leave openings for its legitimacy to be challenged, and the authority of its elites questioned. But capitalism will only end when there is a movement with the vision, confidence, and capacity to replace it.
In the third world, the basis for mobilizing a challenge to capitalism revolves around one particular fact, increasingly evident after a half century of failures of various models: capitalism/globalization cannot, in general, bring to the third world the kind of material development achieved in the first. In the first world, the opening lies in the question of whether what has been achieved is in fact the best humans can strive for.
Global inequality has been rising relentlessly. The World Bank—a prominent player in articulating globalization as both good and necessary, and keenly aware of the political implications of this historical record of growing global inequality—has acknowledged that globalization has left billions of people behind. Its argument now is that some countries have grown through entering the global economy and that these globalizers suggest a positive future for the rest of the third world, that globalization is the key to social justice.6
This sham argument ignores, first, that where growth has come, it has come not with a general improvement in social justice but with costs in terms of internal democracy, human rights, and equality. In the mid-fifties, a Latin American general, when asked about economic development in his country, responded with words that still capture so much of the present reality in third world so-called success stories like Brazil and Mexico: The economy is doing great, but the people in it aren’t.
Second, the few success stories, like those in South East Asia, have proved to be fragile, and in any case have been rooted in particular circumstances that can’t be duplicated. The most prominent example, South Korea, did not achieve what it did because its policies were so clever—though they were relevant—but because of its special importance to the United States during the Cold War. This meant that, like Europe before (and unlike the third world more generally) it received a form of Marshall Aid (military spending during the Korean and Vietnam wars) and was also given free access to the U.S. market even as it protected its own markets.
Third, as long as the successful development model is focused on poor countries competing to export to the West, universal development is a contradiction in terms. Some winners might indeed emerge, but only by condemning other countries to being losers (not to mention the losers within their own countries). The third world can only move towards overall development if there is a focus on mobilizing and developing their human and natural resources to address internalneeds. They do not have to cut themselves off from trade and investment, though they must insist on tightly regulating them to strengthen their internal development.
A look at the history of U.S. development—as well as that of Germany and Japan—exposes the hypocrisy of lecturing the third world against nationalist intervention. In 1791, Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury called for energetic government to ensure growth and argued:
all the difference is lost to a community which, instead of manufacturing for itself, procures…its supply from other countries. The substitution of foreign for domestic manufacturing is a transfer to foreign nations of the advantages occurring from the employment of machinery.
Sometime later, James Madison, a principal author of the U.S. Constitution and later president of the United States, asserted:
The power [to regulate trade] has been understood and used by all commercial and manufacturing nations, as embracing the object of encouraging manufactures. It is believed that not a single exception could be found.
Later in the nineteenth century, Abraham Lincoln added:
I do not know much about the tariff, but I do know this much, when we buy manufactured goods abroad, we get the goods and the foreigners get the money. When we buy the manufactured goods at home we get both the goods and the money.
And at the beginning of the twentieth century another U.S. president, William McKinley, boasted that:
We lead all nations in agriculture; we lead all nations in mining; we lead in manufacturing. These are the trophies we bring after [several decades] of a protective tariff.7
There have of course been movements within the third world—some inspired by their reading of the history of the West, some inspired by Marxism—that have clearly understood that another path to development was crucial. This implied that domestic conflict was necessary to change internal social structures and relationships—the problem has never simply been that of external domination. But where this threatened corporate and particularly U.S. interests, then the reality of Kissinger’s definition of globalization as U.S. dominance stepped to the fore. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, in full support of that power, explained to readers the other side of free trade, the hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist…the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley’s technologies is called the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.8
The movements of any country—whether communist, socialist, or nationalist—that aimed to break out of the rules established by the West were ruthlessly crushed, condemning those countries to continuing misery, issuing a warning to others contemplating a similar path, and—by destroying the secular opposition—opening the door to the alternative of religious mobilization and extremism. As the events of September 11 showed, and common sense should have forewarned, the costs of decisions made by elites in the first world could ultimately not be confined to the third world. Globalization did create one world—however unequal—not three, and aside from moral and human responsibilities, we are now implicated and affected by what happens everywhere.
In the developed West, the internal issue is not so much whether capitalism can deliver on economic growth as it is the nature of that growth. The welfare state emerged as a response to the issue of legitimating power in a class society. As the erosion of the welfare state continues, will capitalist legitimacy again be questioned? Liberal democratic rights—parliament, union rights, open access to the media and communications, civil liberties—also contribute to legitimating capitalism. Will the dramatic shift in power to global corporations, with its blatant declaration that only certain kinds of freedoms—those linked to private property—have any real priority under capitalism, raise questions about how democratic our society really is?
A generation-long series of promises made to facilitate neoliberalism—restraints and concessions today will provide a better life and security tomorrow—have been broken. Will this lead to asking why the corporate executives who failed to deliver on those promises have been rewarded with incomes that reach the stratosphere? Will people see these incomes for what they are—a tax on the rest of us, but one we had no decision-making input into at all? Global financial instability and corruption are spread across the business pages. Will people look behind the scandals and beyond the Enrons to ask whether the rot, rather than being limited to any particular corporation, lies at the core values and workings of what capitalism has become? With the increased pressures in the workplace and at home, the longer hours and increased debt, will exhaustion turn into frustration and anger, anger into a re-evaluation of personal priorities and some kind of constructive action?
People do know something is wrong. You hear it in bars, on the streetcar, in classrooms, in general conversation, from characters in popular novels, and in the words and mood of contemporary songs. The issue, therefore, doesn’t lie so much in pointing out that something is wrong, but in developing a confidence to do something about it, developing an understanding of what that entails, and developing the organizational commitment to go ahead and do it.
The much-abused old left, for all its faults, did understand that the problem wasn’t just globalization, or finance, or neoliberal policies, or this or that scandal. The issue was the inherent lack of democracy in a society where a minority own the means of production we all depend on and the means of communications we need to speak to each other. They understood that moving toward a society that supported the full development of each of our potentials meant that capitalism had ultimately to be replaced.
Critics sympathetic to that project nevertheless and rightfully pointed to the left’s own lack of internal democracy, its narrow view of class and rigidity with regard to other forms of oppression, its overemphasis on the state relative to the movement from below, and its loss of creativity. A new generation is entering this debate. Any success in building a movement to challenge capitalism in the name of social justice will depend on whether the insights of the old left, the criticisms leveled against it, and the energy of the new activists can find that elusive common ground.
One particular question will have a special influence on that coming together: how we relate the national to the international. Any movement for social justice must be solidaristic and internationalist in its sentiments and actions. Yet any movement that hopes to sustain itself and grow must be rooted locally and nationally; it must not only link up with students abroad, but win over workers at home.
The Canadian antiglobalization movement is currently preparing for the G-8 meetings in Kananaskis, Alberta. As in Québec, the Canadian movement wants to use this opportunity to confirm its place and responsibility within the international movement. Perhaps we can add to that contribution by acting concretely to link the national and the international more closely. In addition to the pro forma demands to end the debt and increase aid, why don’t we make demands on our own government, as host, to show some leadership and act unilaterally to end our share of that debt, and raise our aid commitments to at least the levels promised but never delivered? Why not use this moment to demand that our government do something about the third world within our first world—for example, responding to poverty and homelessness by establishing housing as a universal right in Canada; or by extending legal status to immigrants who are welcome to work here, but are especially vulnerable because they are denied the formal rights Canadian workers have.
Conventional wisdom has it that the national state, whether we like it or not, is no longer a relevant site of struggle. At one level, this is true. If our notion of the state is that of an institution which left governments can capture and push in a different direction, experience suggests this will contribute little to social justice. But if our goal is to transform the state into an instrument for popular mobilization and the development of democratic capacities, to bring our economy under popular control and restructure our relationships to the world economy, then winning state power would manifest the worst nightmares of the corporate world.
When we reject strategies based on winning through undercutting others and maintain our fight for dignity and justice nationally, we can inspire others abroad and create new spaces for their own struggles. In that way we internationalize the struggle for social justice. The hope for social justice lies in this kind of national-internationalism, not globalization.

New from ACRL - “Thriving as a Mid-Career Librarian: Identity, Advocacy, and Pathways”
For Immediate Release
CHICAGO – The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) announces the publication of “Thriving as a Mid-Career Librarian: Identity, Advocacy, and Pathways.” Edited by Brandon K. West and Elizabeth Galoozis, this new work collects strategies, experiences, and advice to help you thrive in mid-career.
Mid-career librarianship looks different for everyone. Maybe you’ve worked in libraries for ten years, or you’re halfway to retirement. Maybe you’ve reached the highest level of a hierarchy you care to reach. Most of the literature about mid-career librarianship tends to focus on advancing to leadership or administration, but many of us are more concerned with how to continue to grow professionally without moving upward; how to make decisions about staying in an institution (or the profession); sustaining yourself amid burnout, constant change, wage compression, or even boredom; and navigating cultures of white supremacy, patriarchy, and hierarchy.
In four sections, "Thriving as a Mid-Career Librarian" collects the experiences of mid-career librarians as they grapple with these questions and the roles that marginalized perspectives, intersectionality, and privilege have played in their careers:
- Section 1: Staying Engaged in Your Career
- Section 2: The Role of Identity in Shaping Mid-career Librarianship
- Section 3: Being Your Own Advocate
- Section 4: To Lead or Not to Lead?
Chapters explore maintaining engagement and avoiding burnout; informal mentorships; the doctorate; union stewardship; addressing incivility; post-tenure fatigue; balancing ambition, personal fulfillment, and life; and much more.
It can feel like everything gets harder, more political, and further under-resourced with each passing year. "Thriving as a Mid-Career Librarian" offers strategies of community, support, and advocacy that can help make it possible for us to thrive and help others to thrive. At mid-career, we may not have the same bright-eyed enthusiasm we possessed as new information professionals, but we have other things: the contributions we make to our communities and the wealth of experience we have built up since those days.
“Thriving as a Mid-Career Librarian: Identity, Advocacy, and Pathways” is available for purchase in print and as an ebook through the ALA Online Store; in print through Amazon.com; and by telephone order at (866) 746-7252 in the U.S. or (770) 442-8633 for international customers.
The Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) is the higher education association for academic libraries and library workers. Representing more than 8,000 individuals and libraries, ACRL (a division of the American Library Association) develops programs, products, and services to help those working in academic and research libraries learn, innovate, and lead within the academic community. Founded in 1940, ACRL is committed to advancing learning, transforming scholarship, and creating diverse and inclusive communities. Find ACRL on the web, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

MORE ABOUT PLETTENBERG BAY
The Garden Route has a Mediterranean Maritime climate, with moderately hot summers, and mild to chilly winters. It is one of the richest rainfall areas, most of which occurs in the winter months, brought by the humid sea-winds from the Indian Ocean. Any time of the year is good for visiting the area, depending if you enjoy a peaceful retreat during the winter months or a bustling holiday destination during the summer.
Originally christened "Bahia Formosa" (beautiful bay) by early Portuguese explorers, Plettenberg Bay can now be accessed by first class national roads, by sea or by scheduled air flights.
The great forests lying at the feet of the fabled Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains are the gateway to the incredible indigenous African wealth of Plettenberg Bay, which lies on South Africa's spectacular south coast 210kms from Port Elizabeth and +/- 600 km from Cape Town. The Outeniqua-Tsitsikamma indigenous forests are a unique mixture of Cape Fynbos and temperate forest and offer the nature lover world-renowned hiking trails and an exciting opportunity to see the last remaining forest elephants of South Africa
