Politica
was created in September 2002, mostly in response to what the
author Norman Solomon would call "the habits of a highly
deceptive media", but also against the deceit fed to the
media by those in power. Politica
is thus designed to provide perspectives on world events that
may not always make it to the mainstream press.
Although we have only just launched this site, we hope it will
eventually make a valuable contribution to the understanding of
political events around the world. We will seek to place international
developments in their proper context by investigating not only
the proximate, but also the ultimate causes behind them.We
recognise that total objectivity may be an impossible utopia,
and inevitably, our own essays will also be biased. Biased in
favour of universal human rights, social and international justice,
that is.
Navigating
our site is easy. You can either consult our Menu, which contains
an interactive map allowing you to access essays about the region
of your choice, or you can browse our book reviews, or our eyewitness
accounts of events around the world, as well as some of our favourite
quotes from different media outlets. Clicking
on the title will take you back to the homepage. This title is
coloured in blue, green, red and white, which are the four colours
found in most flags of the world.
We
are hoping to translate at least some of the information on these
pages into French, and later into other languages, as well as
to expand the range of services we have to offer. Please fill
in our feedback form if you have any comments or suggestions.
Alternatively, if you get bored with us, our Links page allows
you to go and browse some interesting political websites.
Thank
you for visiting Politica!
