DESCRIPTION:How has a country comparable in size to the United States performed under 
 the leadership of the Workers' Party? What is behind the current mass 
 protests? Join Sharat G. Lin and Sestilio Testa who 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\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\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\nSuggested donation: $5-10 
 (no one turned away) \n\nSponsored by the Institute for Critical Study of 
 Society and the San José Peace and Justice Center\n
