    Democratic Communiqué 26, No. 1, Spring 2013, pp. 29-45 The History of Union for Democratic Communications through The Democratic Communiqué Ronald V. Bettig and Aaron Heresco This essay examines the history of the Union for Democratic through a close reading of the organization’s newsletters and journals issued under the title of The Democratic Communiqué. It addresses the organization’s evolution and that of its newsletter/journal based on archival research. It discusses the origins of the Union for Democratic Communications and highlights its activities and mission since the mid-1980s. It also considers the successes and re-current problems faced by the organization over the last 30 years. ames Tracy interviewed Vincent Mosco for the Spring 2006 issue of The Democratic Communique, in which Mosco recounts the origins of the Union for Democratic Communications (UDC).1 Mosco recalls communicating with a group of graduate J students the Institute of Communications Research at the University of Illinois, Urba- na-Champaign in 1978-1979. This collective, made up of Martin Allor, Sara Douglas, Fred Fejes, Tom Guback, Eileen Meehan, Jennifer Slack and Janet Wasko, published a newsletter called Communication Perspectives supported by ―critical researchers, practitioners and ac- tivists from literally all over the world.‖2 When Communication Perspectives was formally dissolved in 1986 it passed its mailing list and remaining assets on to the UDC and outstand- ing subscriptions were completed with two issues of the Democratic Communiqué. In March 1979, Thomas Guback took the lead in organizing a work-shop conference at Urbana along with his students. Dallas Smythe was among the participants.

  • The Anti-Apartheid Movements in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand
    The anti-apartheid movements in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand By Peter Limb Introduction The history of the anti-apartheid movement(s) (AAM) in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia is one of multi-faceted solidarity action with strong international, but also regional and historical dimensions that gave it specific features, most notably the role of sports sanctions and the relationship of indigenous peoples’ struggles to the AAM. Most writings on the movement in Australia are in the form of memoirs, though Christine Jennett in 1989 produced an analysis of it as a social movement. New Zealand too has insightful memoirs and fine studies of the divisive 1981 rugby tour. The movement’s internal history is less known. This chapter is the first history of the movement in both countries. It explains the movement’s nature, details its history, and discusses its significance and lessons.1 The movement was a complex mosaic of bodies of diverse forms: there was never a singular, centralised organisation. Components included specific anti-apartheid groups, some of them loose coalitions, others tightly focused, and broader supportive organisations such as unions, churches and NGOs. If activists came largely from left- wing, union, student, church and South African communities, supporters came from a broader social range. The liberation movement was connected organically not only through politics, but also via the presence of South Africans, prominent in Australia, if rather less so in New Zealand. The political configuration of each country influenced choice of alliance and depth of interrelationships. Forms of struggle varied over time and place. There were internal contradictions and divisive issues, and questions around tactics, armed struggle and sanctions, and how to relate to internal racism.

About Freedom Press Freedom Press was founded in 1886 by a group which included Charlotte Wilson and Peter Kropotkin. Its publication Freedom, currently a fortnightly, is the oldest anarchist newspaper in continuous production. Other publications include The Raven, a quarterly of anarchist thought begun in 1987, and some 70 book titles currently in print. Authors range from anarchist classics like Kropotkin, Malatesta, Rudolf Rocker, Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman, to contemporary thinkers like Harold Barclay, Colin Ward and Murray Bookchin. Subjects include anthropology, economics, ecology, education, utopias, capitalism, the state, war and peace, children, land, housing, transport and much more, and the arts are not neglected. There is a set of portrait/biography cards by Clifford Harper, several books of hilarious anarchist strip cartoons, a book of photographs and a children’s story book. Freedom Press is also the wholesale distributor for several other anarchist publishers, and runs a retail bookshop in Angel Alley alongside Whitechapel Art Gallery, open six days a week, selling books on anarchism and related subjects from all sorts of publishers, over the counter and by mail.
