The American Connection: State Terror and Popular Resistance in El Salvador

These two volumes (Vol.1 published under a separate ISBN) draw extensively on previously restricted United States government documents to reveal the part played by the U.S. in initiating counter-insurgency and new strategies of state terror in Central America. With the Reagan Administration's determination to continue financing and supporting the war in El Salvador as well as its destabilization of Nicaragua, Michael McClintock's work is essential for understanding these interventions. Focusing in particular on El Salvador and Guatemala, the author traces the history of these countries' brutal state security apparatuses from their origins in Spanish colonial times, through their continual suppression of the peasant rebellions provoked by their highly distorted class structures and landownership patterns. He demonstrates, with impeccable documentation, how the U.S.'s preference for supporting the status quo as a bulwark against what it perceives as a Communist threat, and its consequent refusal to tolerate social reform, have not only accelerated these conflicts and converted the civilian population into the enemy, but inextricably have enmeshed the U.S. itself in more and more direct ways. The relevance of Michael McClintock's analysis of U.S. support and military and intelligence assistance for repressive and reactionary regimes goes well beyond Central America, and extends to all those areas of the Third World where the U.S. has chosen to defend its interests in ways that ultimately excite violent popular opposition and carry a heavy cost in terms of the violation of human rights.

This report tracks recent anti-Jewish violence and government responses across the breadth of Europe. The attacks come from organized movements of the extreme right, racist "skinheads," and assailants who invoke the Middle East conflict to demonize Jews and Jewish institutions. Only a handful of European governments systematically monitor and publicly report on antisemitic violence. Few governments have created official monitoring bodies to track antisemitic acts. Instead most European governments contribute to the climate of escalating violence by failing to monitor these crimes, and to enact and enforce laws punishing hate crimes. Official indifference has been the norm. Antisemitism is now squarely on the international human rights agenda. This report focuses on the problem, sets it in the context of other forms of racism and discrimination, and makes concrete recommendations on what needs to be done to combat it.

The tanka anthology is a compendium of more than 800 poems by nearly 70 poets from around the world, the foremost practitioners of the ancient and modern genre of tanka. While poets continue to experiment, the contemporary tanka in English may be described as typically an untitled free-verse short poem having anywhere from about twelve to thirty-one syllables arranged in words and phrases over five lines, crafted to stand alone as a unitary, aesthetic whole - a complete poem. Excepting those written in a minimalist style, a tanka is about two breaths in length when read aloud. During the last thirty years, it has emerged as a robust short form that is identifiable as a distinct verse type while being extremely variable in its details.
