From: Mobilization for Survival Date: 06 Jul 92 12:43 PDT Subject: New 500 Years Booklet Message-ID: <1563600171@igc.org> 1492-1992: NEW VISIONS, NEW ALLIANCES by Benito Torres, Warren Harry, and Jennifer Viereck While many in the United States see the issues of Columbus' invasion as 500 years in the past, there are about 1.4 million original North Americans among us today. They face a wide range of life and death issues to which newer Americans are often blind. The tenets of the Columbus-initiated invasion of North America are still firmly entrenched in U.S. foreign and domestic policy. Racism and economic exploitation are highly visible from Pine Ridge to Baghdad to South-Central Los Angeles. Like the policies of the European nations toward their colonies of old, current U.S. policies toward peoples of the global South and national minorities here are geared to secure control of peoples and resources. 1492-1992: NEW VISIONS, NEW ALLIANCES provides insights into the Europe from which Columbus launched his voyages, a more realistic portrayal of North American history following the European invasion, and some examples of the battles Native Americans must still fight today. 30 pages. Copies are $4 each, $2.50 for 15 or more. Published by National Mobilization for Survival, Suite 155, 328 Flatbush Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11238; (718)788-6071; e-mail: mobenat@igc.com.
