DESCRIPTION:How has a country comparable in size to the United States performed under 
 the leadership of the Workers' Party? Join Charlotte Casey, Sestilio Testa, 
 and Sharat G. Lin, all of whom have recently returned from Brazil.\n\n* 
 Capitalist development in the periphery\n* An immigrant nation: the true 
 melting pot\n* The legacy of military rule\n* A BRIC country: size 
 matters\n* Energy self-sufficiency\n* Reducing inequality in the face of 
 neoliberalism: the unfinished task\n* The politics of compromise and vote 
 banks\n* The Workers Party in a capitalist state\n\nCharlotte Casey is with 
 the San Jose Peace and Justice Center and has worked with the Movimento dos 
 Sem Terra (MST, landless movement) in Brazil. She will moderate the 
 event.\n\nSestilio Testa, having lived in Brazil for many years, has become 
 a keen historian, political observer, and activist on the Americas through 
 a long process of self-education. Disillusioned with much of the Left, in 
 recent years he has focused his energies on understanding and supporting 
 alternative people's movements in Brazil, the Philippines, and the U.S., 
 looking for avenues for more radical action.\n\nSharat G. Lin is a research 
 fellow at the San José Peace and Justice Center. He writes on global 
 political economy, labor migration, the Middle East and South Asia, and 
 public health. He has also travelled widely in Latin America to connect 
 with popular movements and understand how the region has fared in resisting 
 U.S. domination and the neoliberal agenda.\n\nSuggested donation: $5-10 (no 
 one turned away)\n\nSponsored by San Jose Peace & Justice Center\n\n
