Commendations
Anne Perkins, The Guardian, on
SMS Uprising
'This is a handbook for the small NGO or social change activist who is daunted by technology. Help is at hand, and SMS Uprising will help you find it'
Philip Ngunjiri, The East African, on Development and Globalisation
'The essays are essential reading for those who believe that "another world is possible"'
Salim Ahmed Salim, former secretary general of the Organisation of African Unity, on Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem
'Taju spoke truth to those in power. He boldly took to task leaders who did not have the courage of their convictions'
Martin Bernal, author of Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization, on Eurocentrism
'Samir Amin's fascinating book on the crucially important subject of Eurocentrism ranges from the spread of Hellenism with the conquest of Alexander the Great to the triumphs of imperialism and transnational capitalism of the 1980s. While essentially thoughtful and analytical, this study is quite rightly informed with outrage against European arrogance and with sympathy for the non-European victims on the periphery of the present system'
Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize winner, on Food Rebellions!
'As Food Rebellions! demonstrates, planting indigenous trees and using traditional farming methods enhances environmental conservation and preserves local biodiversity'
