The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online!
In
every region of the world, we are seeing the rise and consolidation of social,
political and cultural forces that are racist, xenophobic, misogynist, male
chauvinist, homo-lesbo-transphobic, anti-pacifist, antidemocratic and
totalitarian.(...)
The authoritarian/fascist regimes that have risen over the
past decade are notably dangerous because of the support they have from
astonishingly large cross sections of their populations and transnational
capital, giving them the power to polarize and fracture societies, and reverse
important, hard won gains in human rights, civil liberties, and secular,
democratic governance.
In this edition of the Nyéléni newsletter, we examine the
implications of these political-social configurations for the Food Sovereignty
movement. We especially highlight how Food Sovereignty is itself a strategy of
resistance against the dangerous wave of extreme authoritarianism sweeping the
world.
