Commendations

Samir Amin, director of the Third World Forum, on Ending Aid Dependence

'Yash Tandon shows that "aid" is an instrument of imperialism's strategy of domination … which he strongly contrasts with proposals for "another aid", one rooted in the principles of international and anti-imperialist solidarity.'

Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize winner, on Food Rebellions!

'As Food Rebellions! demonstrates, planting indigenous trees and using traditional farming methods enhances environmental conservation and preserves local biodiversity.'

'… a story of disappointed hopes and the failure of government to address the basic social rights of ordinary people. But it's also a story of "ordinary" South Africans who have not given up.'

Yash Tandon, former executive director of the South Centre, on The Crash of International Finance-Capital and its Implications for the Third World

'Reading this abridged version again, as I first did in 1989 before its publication, is like reading history backwards. Professor Nabudere had predicted the crisis of the global financial system even as, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the West was riding triumphant and neoliberal globalisation was entering its mature phase.'
