DESCRIPTION:Friday, February 9th at 7:00 PM\n \nJohn Ross: "What's Up From the Bottom - 
 An Evening of Rebel Insights"\n\nNew College Theater, 777 Valencia St, San 
 Francisco \n \nPoet/author/correspondent and globetrotting troublemaker 
 John Ross, just back from a reporting tour of southern Mexican hot spots, 
 presents "What's Up From the Bottom?" an evening of rebel insights into 
 what's up south of the border.  His talk will include report backs from the 
 Zapatista Intergalactica, the Oaxaca Intifada, and an exclusive peek inside 
 the brain of fraudulently-elected president Felipe Calderon. \n\nJohn Ross 
 is a frequent guest lecturer on Rebel Journalism in the Media Studies MA 
 Program at New College. He is the author of eight volumes of fiction and 
 non-fiction including the recently released Zapatistas! Making Another 
 World Possible - Chronicles of Resistance 2000-2006 , his fourth volume on 
 the Zapatista rebellion. Ross is the winner of both the American Book Award 
 and the coveted Upton Sinclair Prize for his penultimate volume Murdered by 
 Capitalism - 150 Years of Life and Death on the American Left . A stand-up 
 poet and graduate of the Beat Generation with nine chapbooks in and out of 
 print, Ross will also perform incendiary new work from his 
 hot-off-the-press Bomba!  Ross is a rebel journalist with nearly 50 years 
 on the front lines and a longtime contributor to the San Francisco Bay 
 Guardian, Noticias Aliadas (Lima), the Nation, Counterpunch, and KPFA's 
 Flashpoints. He has been called by La Jornada in Mexico City "the new John 
 Reed covering a new Mexican revolution." \n\n"Mexico is in an uproar" Ross 
 previews, "the stolen election is still a hurt on the people, there is 
 wholesale repression against the popular movement in Oaxaca where the 
 killers of Brad Will have never been brought to justice and the tyrant 
 governor Ulises Ruiz still holds sway. Tortilla prices just jumped 300% and 
 "los de abajo" (those from below) are steaming. Meanwhile, so-called 
 president Felipe Calderon is strutting around in a military uniform. People 
 can only take so much." \n\nA $5 donation is asked to raise travel money 
 for the author's upcoming "Making Another World Possible" tour through the 
 U.S. heartland. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. \n 
 \nSponsored by New College Media Studies MA Program. \n \nFor more
