		<title>We&#8217;ve never had so much money.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi there, back again. I will now make a turn in my blog posting and make it much more focused, regular and in-depth as I am beginning my new long-term project on migration in Europe. In about a week&#8217;s time I will be making a first research trip southern Spain, where I will visit the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Howard Zinn: Socialism without jails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Howard Zinn died two days ago, as you will probably know. Here is him speaking on ideas and dreams:

Question: What is your philosophy?
Howard Zinn: I believe, I suppose, in what could be called democratic socialism. I believe that we need a society where the motive for the economic system is not corporate profit, but the [...]]]></description>

		<title>opening the chest and pulling out the soul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had these words floating through my mind for days both sung by Lhasa de Sela and by Mercedes Sosa. Indeed it&#8217;s the lyrics to the song in my previous post, written by Fito Paéz. But the ladies perform it the best.
¿Quién dijo que todo está perdido?
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón,
tanta sangre que se [...]]]></description>

		<title>In memoriam Lhasa de Sela</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I recently rewatched Avi Lewis &#38; Naomi Klein&#8217;s The Take, their documentary from 2004 on Argentina&#8217;s reclaimed factory movement that rose out of the ashes of 2001&#8217;s economic melt-down (imposed by speculative neoliberalist policies, not surprisingly). I was particularly moved by the scene towards the end of the film which shows Buenos Aires street protests [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t written here for ages, but I assure you the blog isn&#8217;t left behind, it&#8217;s just been resting. I think it&#8217;s been oversleeping, but that&#8217;s how it goes. in any case, I came across a poem that merits being posted – may it signal a return to regular writing. Here&#8217;s the poem:

Voces de Cambio participants, 2009 (the whole bunch this time)
It should be pretty obvious from my last post that I&#8217;ve been away from blogging for a good while, and long overdue that I write. I&#8217;m particularly sorry to have neglected to write about Voces de Cambio while the fourth session was still going on, partly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Voces de Cambio participants, 2009 (Fourth Session)
Since early July I&#8217;ve been working with Voces de Cambio, a small non-profit in Xela run by some great people, and only my general lack of time to blog has kept it out of here; it deserves much more honorable mention than I&#8217;ve been able to give it. Voces de [...]]]></description>
