THE BICENTENNIAL: CELEBRATION OR COMMEMORATION
2010 is the year of the bicentennial, of independence revolutions in Latin America. It was a long process whose history goes back to the early years of the Portuguese-Spanish Conquest, with the countless indigenous insurrections of black slaves and resulted in the end of Spanish rule in these lands. Now we ask ourselves: Did this process emerge as truly independent? It is true, that it did away with the Spanish monarchy, but the fact remains that it established (steps were already being taken) the domain of other European powers and then the U.S. Several reasons were an influence for this to happen. After two hundred years we can say that a colonial system we were able to crack was achieved in the nineteenth century, today, we still carry weights, embodied in a new neocolonial system.

Vancouver and Halifax, Canada

Whoever said goats and sheep aren´t interesting? This weekend, I received my baptism into the world of popular participation in the world of small and medium-sized agricultural production, particularly goats and sheep. The municipality of Pedro Leon Torres, and the city
of Carora in Venezuela is hosting the 1st Bolivarian Goat, Sheep, and Artesans Fair this weekend on the exposition grounds in Carora. This might seem mundane to some, but to the hundreds of small family farmers and producers that have gathered here, and to Torres´ Mayor Julio Chavez, it is an historic and poignant moment.

En un principio, caracterizó a los movimientos conservadores que se opusieron a los cambios liberales representados por el desarrollo capitalista de fines del Siglo XIX. Posteriormente, el término y su ideología, asociados con
la izquierda socialista, fueron utilizado por los movimientos radicales anarquistas y fascistas de la primera mitad del Siglo XX.
