Resurgence Magazine Online

While the corporate world advocates "free trade" Resurgence questions trade without responsibility and money without morality. While our governments define the "national interest" and its politicians pursue power at all costs, Resurgence argues for politics with principles. While technology invades our lives in the name of speed and efficiency, Resurgence advocates science with a soul. Resurgence not only offers a critique of the old paradigm, it gives working models for an emerging new paradigm.

SAMAR (South Asian Magazine for Action and Reflection)

SAMAR (South Asian Magazine for Action and Reflection) is a magazine/website with a South Asian focus based in the United States. We choose to use the term "South Asian" because we feel it is important to bring attention to the fact that South Asians are a group of people with a shared history and that this history provides a common basis for understanding our place in the contemporary world. Whereas most other South Asian magazines are based on differences of region, religion and nationality within South Asia, we have chosen to base ours on a South Asian collectivity that is now spread out across the globe. At SAMAR, we hope to reflect the full complexity of "South Asian" in the composition of the editorial collective, contributors and readers. SAMAR responds to a need for a publication that fosters serious debates within the South Asian community and is meant for a general audience. It focuses on analyses of social processes rather than on direct reporting of news events. As suggested by the name of the magazine, SAMAR tends towards social analyses that draw their energy from activist involvement. We are living in an era of rightward political drift. In North America as in South Asia, SAMAR's fundamental commitment is to advancing the forces for social and economic justice. To that end, we at SAMAR work to nurture critical and dissenting voices and invite you to join us in debating the range and depth of radical alternatives to present social arrangements.
