Uprisings: From Kashmir to Egypt to Wall Street

On Wednesday, November 9th, please join us for an evening with one of America's most tireless and wide-ranging investigative journalists, David Barsamian. For the past 25 years Barsamian has altered the independent media landscape, both with his weekly radio show Alternative Radio (www.alternativeradio.org) and with his books, written with Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Tariq Ali, Arundhati Roy and Edward Said. His latest book of interviews with Noam Chomsky is How the World Works (Aug. 2011). The Institute for Alternative Journalism named him one of its "Top Ten Media Heroes." He is the winner of the ACLU's Upton Sinclair Award for independent journalism. Barsamian was deported from India in September of 2011 due to his work on Kashmir and other revolts, discusses world affairs, the state of journalism, censorship, the economic crisis and global rebellions.
