JOHANNESBURG - Children and old women jogged alongside as Albertina Sisulu's hearse made its way through Soweto's humble streets to her grand funeral Saturday. Nelson Mandela called Sisulu "one of the greatest South Africans" for her role fighting apartheid and nurturing a new generation of leaders. She collapsed and died at her Johannesburg home June 2 at the age of 92.
Historically, pharmaceutical patent holders in the United States did not have to rely on patents alone to exclude competition. [...] 1984, drug companies could treat undisclosed clinical trial and other data that that they submitted to the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] as trade secrets.10 The FDA in turn treated this information as confidential and refused to allow generic producers to rely on, or reference the information in order to obtain marketing approval for their therapeutically equivalent products.11 Although generic companies were free to conduct expensive, time-consuming, and duplicative clinical trials on their own, very few did so because of the costs and delays involved,12 because of ethical concerns about repeating clinical trials on human subjects where outcomes wer...
On Monday they visited Nablus, the most imprisoned city in the West Bank. From Hawara to the Casbah, from the Casbah to Balata, from Joseph's Tomb to the monastery of Jacob's Well. They traveled from Jerusalem to Nablus via Highway 60, observing the imprisoned villages that have no access to the main road, and seeing the "roads for the natives," which pass under the main road. They saw and said nothing. There were no separate roads under apartheid. They went through the Hawara checkpoint mutely: they never had such barriers. Jody Kollapen, who was head of Lawyers for Human Rights in the apartheid regime, watches silently. He sees the "carousel" into which masses of people are jammed on their way to work, visit family or go to the hospital, Israeli peace activist Neta Golan, who lived fo...
There is now little doubt that there is a close correlation between the "war on drugs" (and on, gangs) and the growth of the prison-industrial complex. This "war" officially was launched by President Reagan in the mid-1980s, when he promised that the police would attack the drug problem "with more ferocity than ever before." What he did not say, however, was that the enforcement of the new drug laws would focus almost exclusively on low-level dealers in minority neighborhoods. It may be plausible to argue that the "war on drugs" (and the "war on gangs") actually has been a "success" - if the aim was to control the surplus population, especially blacks. We are suggesting that this apparent onslaught may actually be attributed to institutional segregation or apartheid practices. The "wa...
Novelist David Schmahmann is also a lawyer, and he presents the premise of "Ivory from Paradise" almost as though it is a hypothetical case in a law school discussion. Would a dying woman's adult children be justified in removing their late father's collection of African artifacts from her home in London? What if their vulgar stepfather is insulting toward their mother, who had once been a leading opponent of apartheid? What if South African law prevents them from moving the funds out of the country?
I only started using the word 'apartheid' recently after Jimmy Carter's book, though I didn't like the book," Rubinstein said, referring to Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. He also noted that "even Ariel Sharon used the word 'occupation,' which was a word never used before. "There is a difficulty with Israelis, and Danny Rubinstein is not the only one who has fallen in on this, of coming out of Israel and going into another context," [Paul Usiskin] said. He added later that "it's not necessarily the same left wing as what he knows at home." In a review and interview at the time, the Jewish Star called the book "fair-minded and perceptive." But "There is little mention of [Arafat]'s terrorism" in this book, Gila Wertheimer wrote, "and this is bound to disturb some readers."
Algunos quizá no vean inmediatamente el paralelismo entre las actuales leyes de inmigración y el apartheid en Sudafrica - que legislaba una clara división entre las razas - pero yo argumentaría que, en la práctica, las dos son muy parecidas y tienen los mismos efectos: millones viviendo en las sombras y temerosos de ser perseguidos, pago de impuestos sin representación política, deportaciones que separan a familias y falta de acceso a trabajos bien pagados, incluso para aquellos que tendrían las cualidades para realizarlos. La nueva ley anti-inmigrante en Arizona, dicen sus críticos, promueve la discriminación racial de la misma manera que ocurrió en Sudafrica durante el apartheid. [Desmond Tutu] dijo que la fe de los activistas y de la gente común en la justicia y eventual victoria de ...
Few can argue with the 94-minute motion picture's pedigree, however. [Gavin Hood] adapted venerable playwright Athol Fugard's only novel, written in 1961 but first published in 1980. The book addresses what was then the country's vile official policy of racial separation. Set in contemporary South Africa, the screen version of [Tsotsi] examines how poverty, crime and AIDS are now decimating the post-apartheid society. These encounters, exquisitely conveyed by two fine young actors, also provide the antihero with his first sense of life's possibilities. Despite their equally nondescript exteriors, her home is as beautiful within as Tsotsi's is grim. He's curious about the mobiles that hang from her ceiling. [Miriam]'s explanation of her artistic process hints at how emotions can be chann...
