Views From the South, Speaking Event, October 12, 2000
Jerry Mander, President of the International Forum on Globalization
(IFG) and Anuradha Mittal, Co-Director of Food First/Institute for Food
and Development Policy will be at the Modern Times Book Store, 888
Valencia Street @20th, San Francisco, on October 12 at 7:30 pm to talk
about their new book, Views From the South, co-published by Food First
Books and the IFG.
Ever since the Battle in Seattle, the World Trade Organization has been
featured prominently in the news. For all their talk of being dedicated
to the welfare of the Third World, the WTO has damaged the economies of
several countries and encouraged the growth of labor markets that more
closely resemble sweatshops. Views from the South with foreword by Jerry
Mander, Afterword by Anuradha Mittal, edited by Sarah Anderson, collects
the works of Third World activists such as Martin Khor, Walden Bello,
Vandana Shiva, Dot Keet, Sara Larrain, and Oronto Douglas. It examines
the effects of the WTO and provides alternative agendas geared towards
people, not profits.
