RESOURCES

Books

* Religion and Empire: People, Power, and the Life of the Spirit
Richard A. Horsley (Theological Reflector)

"In this perceptive look at ways that politics and religion intertwine,
Richard Horsley examines relationships between imperial power and
religious life. he describes how ancient and modern empires subjegate
people by co-opting their local religious practices and attitudes, and he
identifies similaries among resistance movements."

* When Corporation Rule the World
David C. Korten (Keynote Speaker)

"Korten's laser-like analysis of how global corporations dominate people
and their government, and the miserable conditions that result when the
few rule the many. Korten then hows practical pathways to a realizable
future of more just, prosperous, and sustainable societies. This book
will agitate your mind, elevate your soul, and engage your civic spirit."
- Ralph Nader

* Keeping Up With the Dow Joneses: Debt, Prison, Workfare
Vijay Prashad

"In his latest book of interlinked essays, noted cultural critic Vijay
Prashad examines the contradictions of the American economy. He assesses a
range of related issues: the oft-vaunted US economy, propped up by the
rising debt of poor and middle-class workers; welfare policies that punish
those attempting to escape the grip of debt and poverty; and a prison
industry that regulates and houses the unemployed, as well as a reserve
army of laborers. By making crystal-clear connections between the economy,
welfare reform, and the profit-driven prison industrial complex, Prashad
offers a vision for a sustainable and vital anti-imperialist movement."
