  • Icts, 'Virtual Colonisation' & Political Economy
    Review of African Political Economy No.99:5-9 © ROAPE Publications Ltd., 2004 ISSN 0305-6244 ICTs, ‘Virtual Colonisation’ & Political Economy Reginald Cline-Cole & Mike Powell The potential consequences of the nature and dynamics of the increasing use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for the political economy of Africa deserve considerably more critical attention than they have thus far received. True, there exists a growing body of literature on, for example, the potential of ICTs for democratising political participation and policy formulation; redressing long- standing North-South, regional, rural-urban and gender imbalances; and redefining the parameters of development thinking and practice. Not surprisingly, recent policy attention has tended to focus almost exclusively on why a ‘wired’Africa is an absolute and urgent necessity in the current information age; and on how African countries can formulate e-strategies, among other things, to facilitate their incorporation in the so- called global information society. However, much (but by no means all) of this literature has been celebratory, even, on occasion, proselitysing, particularly in its insistence that ICTs represent ‘a key resource that should be maximised by … African nations in order to achieve competitiveness in the current dynamic world order’ (Shibanda and Musisi-Edebe, 2000:228). In contrast, relatively little sustained attention has been paid to the potential (highly differentiated) impact of ICTs on social relations, even though, as Daly (2000) has observed with reference to the extension of the internet to developing countries with low levels of connectivity, ‘the Mathew principle’ will prevail and ‘those who have most will be given still more’.

  • Staying Red: Why I Remain a Socialist
    Staying Red: why I remain a socialist NORMAN HARDING Index Books London © Norman Harding 2005 Published 2005 by Index Books 16 Electric Avenue, Brixton, London SW9 8JX Typeset by Sumner Type, London SE22 Printed by Trade Union Printing Services, Newcastle upon Tyne A C.I.P. catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library ISBN 1-871518-25-3 Dedication This book is dedicated to all those throughout the world who are struggling for socialism, and to all those who are fighting against oppression. We need a society where social relations will mean that adequate food, clean water, clothing, and shelter will be available for all. A society where wealth (for example, oil) will not just benefit the rulers of these areas, but benefit all. A society with no national rulers using military might and superiority to invade any part of the world to steal its resources as is happening now, in 2004, in Iraq. Long gone are the days when a community was simply all the people living in an area, based on a local industry. Globalisation of capital and ownership means that the world is our community. The old slogan Workers of the World Unite has never been more urgent and necessary. Acknowledgements I thank all my comrades and friends of the late Socialist Labour League and Workers Revolutionary Party for their support and encouragement over the five years writing this book. Every attempt has been made to contact all those mentioned. If anyone has not been contacted, please accept my apologies. Special thanks to Clare Cowen and Bridget Leach for their unstinting hard work, devotion and care taken with the finer points that were needed to arrive at the finished product, and to Brian Eley for designing the cover.

  • The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
    6 THE CAMPAIGN FOR NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT Along with the other members of the Leeds branch I became active in CND (the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament). My first activity was to take part in the first Aldermaston March in April 1958. I was immediately made part of our sales team. Comrade Hendrie (the Major) and I were top of the sales chart with approximately 500 hundred items of literature each. This became my role for all the future Aldermaston Marches. At the end of each day the sales team was exhausted. If the days march was fifteen miles, then we would walk 30. I remember one year at the end of one of the days I sat on a wall and when the transport arrived to pick me up I could not get off; I had literally moulded to the shape of the wall. Because of this I was taken to a comrades house close to where the march was to restart the following day to have a nights rest in a proper bed, with an added bonus of the following morning off. This dream was shattered about 08.30 that morning. There was a phone call from Bob Pennington telling me to go to the Royal Festival Hall and sell at the Paul Robeson concert that was taking place there. At one of the rest points on the Aldermaston March in 1963, I was selling our literature when I was approached by a member of one of the other left-wing organisations. He said that he had in his possession a document that had been leaked from one of the government departments.
