Ask Barbara about
the availability of her new work, "A
Simple Matter of Justice," a video workbook on
contingent faculty activism, and the brief
Introduction to this. Both should be available in
time for Campus Equity Week.
"Secrets of
Silicon Valley" - A shocking, funny, and moving expose of
how working people and their communities are
being ravaged by the so-called "new
economy" of high tech sweatshops.
Part "Modern Times,"
part "Bladerunner," it is a mood piece
about rapid social change, a call to organize the
unorganized, and a chronicle of a tumultuous year
in the lives of two charismatic young activists
who are experiencing "globalization" on
their own doorsteps.
