The Arusha Declaration:
Rediscovering Nyerere's Tanzania

The re-publication in English
& first publication in Spanish of the Arusha Declaration
In 1967, newly independent Tanzania led by President Julius Nyerere issued The Arusha Declaration, one of the great documents of the 20th century. It confronts the problems for economically poor countries developing economically while trying to remain independent of international capital. Beginning with the working life of the people, especially of women in the countryside who work the harder than anyone else’, it sets out an alternative strategy of Ujamaa or 'African socialism': self-reliance, co-operation and preventing the corruption of the government and the ruling party.  Read more.

A "Bleak House" for Our Times:  An investigation into Yarl's Wood Removal Centre
by Legal Action for Women

New research based on the experiences of over 130 women detained in Yarl’s Wood Removal Centre explodes the myth that the asylum system is “fast but fair” and that most asylum seekers are “bogus”, and instead demonstrates that most of those deemed “bogus” have never had a chance to present their case.

Or What is Not to Be Done
Selma James, 1972
