Resources

  • Some links to grassroots-based organizations and alternative media sources on the Internet for alternative cultural and political research and analysis:
    • for resources in general, Links: Global;
    • and for resources that are either based in or primarily concerned with Japan, Links: Japan.
  • Some recommended readings, including both (1) a general list emphasizing critical, non-elite perspectives; and (2) an informal American Studies list based on suggestions by Howard Zinn: Selected Readings.
  • Finally, for teachers, students, and interested viewers, a large collection of transcripts for documentary videos concerning such matters as such as human rights, Third World development, postwar U.S. foreign policy, militarization, the environmental impact of globalization, and more: Video Transcripts.
