'Just World News' with Helena Cobban

New Year developments

May 2007 be the year in which the US citizenry and all the other peoples of the world turn significantly away from its reliance on violence of all kinds: physical violence, symbolic violence, systemic violence, and all the other quieter forms of violence.

I shall do what I can.

What else will the New Year bring?

For me, a couple of things. Firstly, copies of my most recent book, on post-atrocity policies in Africa, that are affordable enough for me to recommend it quite broadly. See the details in the box on the main JWN sidebar.

I see the book is now available from Amazon for $16.47. And from Paradigm Publishers for $24.95.

... And secondly: I'll be traveling to the Middle East and Europe for three months. I'll be in the Middle East, based in Cairo but traveling around a bunch, for five weeks starting February 1. Then I'll be in northern Europe, based in London, from March 6 through the end of April. Oh, with a quick gig in Tokyo at the end of March. (Burning too much jet-fuel. Bad Helena.)

But actually if any of you in the ME or northern Europe can figure out some interesting and/or remunerative speaking gigs for me while I'm there, please let me know. I'm still putting my schedule together and can see I definitely need to do more to get the expenses of these travels covered.

Also, I'd love it if any of you feel moved to write a review of the atrocities book someplace and/or generally find ways to make it better known?

Thanks!
