House as a Mirror of Self presents an unprecedented examination of our relationship to where we live, interwoven with compelling personal stories of the search for a place for the soul. Marcus takes us on a reverie of the special places of childhood--the forts we made and secret hiding places we had--to growing up and expressing ourselves in the homes of adulthood. She explores how the self-image is reflected in our homes/ power struggles in making a home together with a partner/ territory, control, and privacy at home/ self-image and location/ disruptions in the boding with home/ and beyond the "house as ego" to the call of the soul. As our culture is swept up in home improvement to the extent of having an entire TV network devoted to it, this book is essential for understanding why the surroundings that we call home make us feel the way we do. With this information we can embark on home improvement that truly makes room for our soul.

At 20, after being expelled for anti-war activism, Marc Cooper moved to Santiago to work as a translator for Chilean President Salvador Allende. The intensity of Allende’s socialist revolution shaped Cooper’s political and reporting skills with a radical lens. In 1973, he began reporting on the destruction of Allende’s government and Chilean democracy amid the US-financed coup, risking his safety. Two decades later, as a radical journalist, he chronicles significant global events with humor and detail. He explores the New World Order, including Pinochet’s Chile, Nicaragua during the Sandinista’s last days, besieged Soweto, post-invasion Panama, Baghdad on the brink, and the new Moscow mafia. The title piece features Che Guevara’s grandson and a new generation of Cuban youth still seeking Che’s elusive promise of freedom. The second half shifts focus to the US, offering a ground-level view of a society in decline. Readers accompany Bill Clinton on his campaign plane as he adapts his image for votes and navigate America’s cultural landscape, from Dan Quayle’s Hollywood clashes to the 1992 Republican Convention. As Los Angeles burns with rage, Cooper brings readers to the edge of history, culminating in a personal visit to Las Vegas, a symbol of today’s marketplace ethos.

Dalle voci più autorevoli della stampa internazionale, una raccolta di interventi su uno dei temi più critici dell'informazione: come fare giornalismo indipendente oggi. Dalle zone calde del pianeta - dall'Algeria alla Cecenia, dai territori palestinesi occupati all'Iraq e all'Afghanistan voci fuori da ogni schieramento raccontano un mondo che non assomiglia più alla geografia insegnata nelle scuole. Alcuni di loro scrivono in russo, altri in inglese, altri in arabo, altri in ebraico: molti sono riusciti a guadagnarsi la stima dei loro nemici e a perdere quella dei loro amici.
