What a thrill it was to be in New Mexico to visit author Arlene Goldbard in her studio and see her portraits from In the Camp of Angels of Freedom! I came for her Collected Works Bookstore launch and visits with authors Sabra Moore (Openings), Lucy Lippard (Stuff, coming this fall) and Margaret Randall (Luck, also coming this fall!).

A Peaceful Superpower:
Lessons from the World's Largest
Antiwar Movement
|
Twenty years ago this February, as the Bush administration prepared to wage war against Iraq, some ten million people (!!) around the globe took to the streets to warn against the impending disaster. It was the largest wave of antiwar protest in world history. This is the story of those dramatic events and the breadth of continuing dissent following the ill-fated invasion of Iraq by the United States in March 2003, told by distinguished peace scholar and activist David Cortright.
Foreword by David S. Meyer.
Original paperback, 240 pages, 18 b/w illus.

“A virtual handbook for activism and organizing that could not be more timely and needed.”
—Noam Chomsky
“Antiwar activists came up short in their efforts to avert the Gulf War of 2003. Even so, those efforts have much to teach. The place to begin learning is here, with David Cortright's concise but impressively comprehensive and insightful book.”
—Andrew Bacevich

In the Camp of Angels of Freedom:
What Does It Mean to Be Educated?
by Arlene Goldbard
Through her evocative paintings and narrative, author Arlene Goldbard portrays eleven individuals whose work most influenced her— Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, James Baldwin, Nina Simone, Paul Goodman, Doris Lessing, Alice Neel, Paulo Freire, Isaiah Berlin, John Trudell, Abraham Joshua Heschel, and Jane Jacobs—what she calls a Camp of Angels. She sees each as a brave messenger of love and freedom for a society that badly needs “uncolonized minds.” Readers will learn about the author’s own self education and issues of formal higher education and the damage done by a society that prizes profits over people.
Original Color Paperback • 224 pages
7" x 10" • 16 color illustrations • $34.95
