Title: Colours of resistance
Description: The Shakti Women of Colour Collective based out of Montreal considers race, class, and imperialism. It breaks down many issues heard in activist circles like Free Trade of the Americas (FTAA), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Bhopal Crisis, and issues of globalization around companies like Monsanto. Along with articles about anti-racist organizing (Helen Luu), racist activism, (Nadine Mondestin), and a speech by Jazmin de la Calzada entiltled “Globalize This! Women of Colour Resisting Imperialism,” the zine includes an extensive glossary of terms like “racism,” “oppression,” “people of color,” and “popular literacy.” It is cut and paste and utilizes popular anti-oppression imagery and wood cut prints that explain issues of the early 2000s.
