For more information:
With "globalization" and increasing concentration of ownership
in the mass media, people in the US who want to know about
causes and effects in the Americas often find themselves limited
to a narrow menu of "mainstream" information sources.
Meanwhile there is an active sub-culture of independent media -
from small presses whose books are rarely seen at Barnes &
Noble or Borders - to scholars, web-sites, journalists, and
so-called "pirate" radio stations. Come meet these independent
publishers, writers, poets, & activists and find out about their
work. They will be there to give presentations and address your
questions.
