Sunday, April 24th, 2011It’s been a while since I’ve visited the Kate Sharpley Library’s website.

“If power is not seized, counter-revolution will rise”: Vijay Prashad on the Arab revolt
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011I think this two-part interview with Vijay Prashad, which appeared on the Radical Notes website, is a great analysis of the situation in the Arab world.
