Ferguson and the long wave

By Ricardo Levins Morales on November 28, 2014 • ( 2 Comments )

At the local Ferguson protest the other night two students from Minneapolis’ South High School talked about the sit-in and walk-out they’d organized, coordinated with other high schools. I realized that forty […]

Community Soil and Exchange Capacity

By Ricardo Levins Morales on July 26, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )

When I think about the East Side Freedom Library I think about dirt. More specifically, about dirt and community and the similar ways they are structured and how those structures determine the […]

Monsanto in the Mirror

By Ricardo Levins Morales on May 28, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )

One of the great inventions of the past hundred and fifty years is the rear-view mirror. It permits us to move forward while remaining aware of where we have come from. As […]

Unity and Division in the Ninth Ward

By Ricardo Levins Morales on November 4, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )
“I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all the days of their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.” Eugene V. Debs

I wasn’t going to say anything aloud about the ninth ward, Minneapolis city council race. I don’t ignore electoral contests exactly but they don’t dominate my attention, either. You see city councils, […]

Miss Saigon With the Wind

By Ricardo Levins Morales on September 13, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

I would like to invite the leadership of the Ordway Theater to a panel discussion on why I didn’t consult them before creating this poster and why they should be grateful for […]

Tecumseh in the Time of Monsanto: A Voice in the Wind. Part 3 of 3

By Ricardo Levins Morales on September 4, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

There are no discontinuities in history. The trees of today were yesterday’s seeds; the gentle hills were once mountains, worn down by time; the transformation of forest into desert proceeds by small […]

Tecumseh in the Time of Monsanto, Part 2 of 3

By Ricardo Levins Morales on September 4, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

The United States in Tecumseh’s day was bold and brash but untested, its survival far from assured. It had only won independence with backing from the Dutch, Spanish and (decisively) the French […]

A Unity of Fires: Tecumseh in the Time of Monsanto, Part 1 of 3

By Ricardo Levins Morales on September 4, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

It’s time we talked about Tecumseh. There are compelling reasons to study this powerful brother. He organized a movement that was intended to block the westward expansion of the brash, young United […]

Policing and Race in a Bankers’ Paradise

By Ricardo Levins Morales on August 21, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )
"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it." Fr. Edward Dowling

The Minneapolis Police have been getting the kind of attention they don’t like. Twice, recently, officers have been filmed engaging in racist harassment. The department was already in damage control mode after […]

What I Might Not Have Learned from the Cabora Bassa Dam

By Ricardo Levins Morales on August 14, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )
El Reino del Cafe

  The Cabora Bassa Dam had been under construction for years when I first became aware of Mozambique. Mozambique, along with Angola and Guinea Bissau, was one of three major African territories […]
