July/August 2008
Volume 42, Number 4
This summer Canadian Dimension takes a look at food and the global crisis surrounding it. We delve into the slow food movement, revisit the green revolution, and examine the destructive impact of increasing soy production. Mix in a healthy dose of cutting edge economic analysis on the US financial crisis and our usual selection of book reviews and columns and the summer issue of CD is a veritable feast.
Just to stir things up, we've got John Saul on the politics of the suspense novel and his ten best list for some light summer reading. Don't forget to check out our art and politics section with a look at the world of politics and music, from conscious hip hop to political baroque choirs! As always, we take a look at the important progressive social action happening across Canada in our Around the Left in 60 Days section.
