The hate and the quake

By Sir Hilary Beckles
 
The University of the West Indies is in the process of conceiving how best to deliver a major conference on the theme Rethinking And Rebuilding Haiti. I am very keen to provide an input into this exercise because for too long there has been a popular perception that somehow the Haitian nation-building project, launched on January 1, 1804, has failed on account of mismanagement, ineptitude, corruption.

Australian aborigines have had a raw deal. This sums up pretty much the knowledge that the most knowledgeable non-Australians know about them.

It just seems to me as though all the real great pop stars are now leaving us. The 80’s was the time of monster pop acts. Pop stars with an almost demi god status.
