Upping The Anti: A Journal of Theory and Action issue #8
by UTA Editorial Committee
It is always exciting to see the newest issue of Upping The Anti (UTA ) appear on bookshelves and periodical racks. The radical journal, put out twice a year by a Pan-Canadian collective, is geared toward the activist/ politically engaged reader and features theoretical/critical articles, interviews, round-table discussions, and book reviews on contemporary radical/ anti-authoritarian politics . The ever-refreshing element of UTA is it's high level of discourse and discussion, minus the "specialist language" and acedemic lingo, giving it accessability and enabling it to be widely read and recieved by a large and diverse readership.
The newest issue of UTA (issue #8) covers a wide range of topics including interviews with Deborah Gould on the legacy of ACT UP , Helen Hudson of the Institue for Anarchist Studies on building longterm sustianable movements, and David McNally, Leo Panitch, Sam Gindin - York University political economy instructors on the econ. crisis. The issue also includes roundtables with SLAM (Student Liberation Action Movement) along with a discussion on Activist Study Groups, articles on the Palestinian struggle/ solidarity movements, Indigenous defense of land in Canada and anti-poverty groups in a climate of economic crisis.
As usual UTA offers us a consistent dosage of analysis and discussion that helps to keep anti-authoritarian/ capitalist/ oppression movements informed and moving...toward social justice and change.
