Parijs aan het begin van de jaren ?90. Een groep jonge activisten wil koste wat het kost een remedie vinden tegen een tot dan toe onbekende dodelijke ziekte. Hun doelwit: de farmaceutische labs die mogelijke remedies bewust tegenhouden. Indien ze hun eigen levens én die van toekomstige generaties willen redden, zullen ze hun acties moeten opschroeven. Met behulp van een krachtig ensemble van jonge acteurs creëert Campillo een vitale film die een belangrijke politiek strijd in beeld brengt die misschien te veel in de vergetelheid was geraakt. Een universele, aangrijpende en geëngageerde film, parallel aan een individueel menselijk verhaal. 120 BPM ontving op het filmfestival van Cannes onder andere de juryprijs en de prijs van de internationale filmpers. Een film die onmogelijk te negeren valt.

Wat ooit werd geïntroduceerd als een voor de mens volstrekt schadeloos pesticide, is in de praktijk - nu blijkt dat het overal in zit, in ons drinkwater, in de landbouwgrond, in ons volkorenbrood en zelfs in moedermelk - 'giftig spul' dat kan leiden tot kanker, diabetes, alzheimer en misvormingen bij kinderen. Carey Gillam, een gerenommeerd Reuter-journalist, dook in het dossier over het pesticide Roundup. Zij vond niet alleen alarmerende wetenschappelijke feiten, maar stuitte ook op een machtige multinational, Monsanto, die er alles aan doet om zijn lucratieve patent op het middel te beschermen. Wetenschappers worden door het slijk gehaald, journalisten bedreigd, politici omgekocht, kritische boeren kapot geprocedeerd. Een verontrustend boek voor wie bezorgd is over ons voedsel, onze gezondheid - en wie is dat nou niet? 'Giftig spul leest als een thriller, doordat Carey Gillam geraffineerd de geheime strategieën van Monsanto onthult.' - Erin Brockovich, bedrijfsjournalist en activistBron : http://www.standaard.be

The twenty-first century is already riddled with protests demanding social justice, and in every instance, young people are leading the charge. But in addition to protesters who take to the streets with handmade placards are young adults who engage in less obvious change-making tactics. In Speaking Truths, sociologist Valerie Chepp goes behind-the-scenes to uncover how spoken word poetry—and young people’s participation in it—contributes to a broader understanding of contemporary social justice activism, including this generation’s attention to the political importance of identity, well-being, and love. Drawing upon detailed observations and in-depth interviews, Chepp tells the story of a diverse group of young adults from Washington, D.C. who use spoken word to create a more just and equitable world. Outlining the contours of this approach, she interrogates spoken word activism’s emphasis on personal storytelling and “truth,” the strategic uses of aesthetics and emotions to politically engage across difference, and the significance of healing in sustainable movements for change. Weaving together their poetry and personally told stories, Chepp shows how poets tap into the beautiful, emotional, personal, and therapeutic features of spoken word to empathically connect with others, advance intersectional and systemic analyses of inequality, and make social justice messages relatable across a diverse public. By creating allies and forging connections based on friendship, professional commitments, lived experiences, emotions, artistic kinship, and political views, this activist approach is highly integrated into the everyday lives of its practitioners, online and face-to-face. Chepp argues that spoken word activism is a product of, and a call to action against, the neoliberal era in which poets have come of age, characterized by widening structural inequalities and increasing economic and social vulnerability. She illustrates how this deeply personal and intimate activist approach borrows from, builds upon, and diverges from previous social movement paradigms. Spotlighting the complexity and mutual influence of modern-day activism and the world in which it unfolds, Speaking Truths contributes to our understanding of contemporary social change-making and how neoliberalism has shaped this political generation’s experiences with social injustice.

In his long and fascinating life, black activist and intellectual Max Yergan (1892-1975) traveled on more ground—both literally and figuratively—than any of his impressive contemporaries, which included Adam Clayton Powell, Paul Robeson, W.E.B. Du Bois, and A. Phillip Randolph. Yergan rose through the ranks of the "colored" work department of the YMCA, and was among the first black YMCA missionaries in South Africa. His exposure to the brutality of colonial white rule in South Africa caused him to veer away from mainstream, liberal civil rights organizations, and, by the mid-1930s, into the orbit of the Communist Party. A mere decade later, Cold War hysteria and intimidation pushed Yergan away from progressive politics and increasingly toward conservatism. In his later years he even became an apologist for apartheid.Drawing on personal interviews and extensive archival research, David H. Anthony has written much more than a biography of this enigmatic leader. In following the winding road of Yergan’s life, Anthony offers a tour through the complex and interrelated political and institutional movements that have shaped the history of the black world from the United States to South Africa.
