Running Time: 1 hour, 57 minutes

The live event took place on May 8, 2003, Sibley Auditorium, Bechtel Center, UC Berkeley.

Tariq Ali, editor of the New Left Review and author of "Clash of Fundamentalisms," visits campus as the Sanford S. Elberg Lecturer in International Studies. His talk, "War, Empire, and Resistance," focusses on the current debate over the war in Iraq.

Ali's life as a writer, broadcaster, and filmmaker has been that of a dissenter. Born in Pakistan in 1943, Ali left in the early 1960s to study at Oxford University in England. While there, he became a central figure in the anti-Vietnam war movement, leading the infamous march on the American Embassy in London in 1968 and debating the likes of Henry Kissinger and Michael Stewart, the British Foreign Secretary. Anti-Arab propaganda used in the Gulf War of 1990 prompted him to explore why Islam had not undergone a Reformation, and why the Ottomans had been relatively untouched by the Enlightenment. His latest book, "Clash of Fundamentalisms," investigates the post-September 11 "war on terror."

Established in 1987 by the Institute of International Studies, the Sanford S. Elberg Lecture honors Professor Emeritus Elberg's tireless efforts in building the excellence of graduate education at Berkeley. Past lecturers have included the writer Christopher Hitchens and former President of the World Bank Robert McNamara. The lecture is free and open to the public.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
