In If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution, Vincent Bevins chronicles the protests that erupted across the globe from 2010 to 2020. Fueled by viral images on social media and democratic, horizontalist ideals, millions of people marched on the streets to demand change.
Freeing Free Trade
Pax Economica: Left-Wing Visions of a Free Trade World Marc-William Palen Princeton University Press, $35 (cloth) To many today, the idea that free trade brings peace looks like bygone naïveté at best and neoliberal apologism at worst. Contrary to the aspirations of the late twentieth-century free trade moment, history—much less war—did not end with the expansion of global trade.
Brothers recall lost community of Furnace Branch
Royce Brooks' grandfather was an African-American pioneer. William Urias Brooks moved from Cedar Hill and built the first house along Furnace Branch in 1896, settling a small strip of land along what is now Crain Highway in Glen Burnie. Black dentists, blacksmiths, ministers and businessmen soon built around him, and Furnace Branch became one of several small African-American communities in northern Anne Arundel County.
When Canada's Immigration Policies Pull Families Apart
In my family, when I’m at home, dinnertime is a daily ritual. On a Friday in December, the smells of a full Korean dinner fill our cramped apartment in north Toronto. Many storeys below, darkness falls over the last of the rush-hour cars. My sister and I move several Tupperware containers of side dishes—kimchi, seaweed salad, pickled cucumbers—onto the table. As we set out the cutlery, my mother’s phone rings. It is my father.
Why We Should Let a Lottery Decide Our Government
In ancient Athens, citizens—free adult men—would gather in the assembly, thousands at a time. At the peak of Athenian democracy, in the fourth and fifth century BCE, every citizen had the right to speak in this legislature on issues of the state, which ranged from finances to military matters and even the impeachment of generals. After these discussions, they could vote on final decisions, either with a show of hands or by secret ballot.

Our say: Food Bank needs to continue its work
Much of the history of Crownsville Hospital Center is hardly a source of pride. But the largely unused campus has at least provided facilities for nonprofit organizations that do the community a lot of good. One of the best known is the 30-year-old Anne Arundel County Food & Resource Bank, which moved into the hospital’s former central kitchen in 2004. The organization pools donated food and distributes it to pantries, soup kitchens and many other programs. And it handles more than just food.
