about his new book: In his third volume on the Zapatista uprising, John Ross concludes a journey he began in The War Against Oblivion--Zapatista Chronicles 1994-2000 with a frontline account of the past six years of the insurgency, and a brilliant eyewitness portrayal. In the wake of the 2000 election of Vicente Fox, Mexico's first opposition president in seven decades, hopes soared that a Zapatista-inspired Indian rights law would become the law of the land. But the usual dark forces in Mexican politics--the mal gobierno-- conspired to gut any pro-Indian legislation and propelled the Zapatistas on a new quest to create the kind of autonomous institutions that the Mexican state has denied them. The struggle of the Zapatistas during these past years, writes Ross, "has been a dramatic and inspiring effort to make this other world possible."

FINDING COMMON GROUND IN NEW ORLEANS is a short documentary that addresses the social injustice that took place during and after the hurricane Katrina disaster through the lens of poet and activist Walidah Imarisha. FINDING COMMON GROUND IN NEW ORLEANS looks at the effects that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have had on New Orleans and the surrounding area. Through compelling and often heart wrenching interviews with residents, survivors, activists, volunteers and officials, the landscape of a city devastated by the government’s criminal negligence and trying to rebuild comes to light. This film includes exclusive footage shot in the makeshift bus station jail known as “Camp Amtrak” and interviews with officials at the jail about the city’s criminal justice system, or lack thereof. The short documentary is able, through the lens of personal accounts that speak to broader issues and concerns, to capture the pain, the loss and the hope of New Orleans.
John is on a book tour for his recent book "Making Another World Possible". John has been one of the central journalist covering the Zapatista movement and writes for newspapers like Z Mag and La Jornada. Local media scholar Ed Herman, from Manufacturing Consent fame will give some opening remarks.
