Anarchism in Outer Space (book review)

Ursula Le Guin's 1974 book "The Dispossessed" has been re-released as part of a series of "Science Fiction Masterworks." And thank goodness for that, or I might never have picked it up. Thank goodness too for my mate Manos whose recommendation was sufficient to over-rule my instinctive aversion to all things Sci-Fi.

Racism and Imperial Nostalgia at the BBC: an open letter to Andrew Marr

 http://leninology.blogspot.com/2006/06/wanted-loyal-natives-to-discuss-empire.html

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/starttheweek.shtml

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO INTERESTED PARTIES

Open Letter to Andrew Marr, Presenter, Start the Week on Radio 4, the BBC

Dear Andrew,

This is an open letter that I am going to ask the people--many of whom are
prominent academics-- I have copied in to circulate as widely as possible,
to draw the attention of people to the egregious manner in which you dealt
with the follow-up this morning's show on 'The Legacy of Empire'. I am
appalled and shocked at your biased introduction to the evening phone-in.
You use dismissive words like 'blarney', 'aggressive', and 'too much heat'
to describe an impassioned discussion of a painful and traumatic legacy
that didn't fit the genteel upper-class British converation over 'tea and
cucumber sandwiches'model. This then set the tenor for the phone-in that
followed.
