We have great news: As of today Mondoweiss is a project of the Center for Economic Research and Social Change. CERSC is a great fit for us because the Center is fearlessly dedicated to ideas that are outside the mainstream. With the help of Anthony Arnove, it is best known for its pathbreaking publishing arm, Haymarket Books, which has published Omar Barghouti, Noam Chomsky, Arundhati Roy, Wallace Shawn, Amy Goodman, Dennis Brutus, Amira Hass, and Ilan Pappe, among others.
The CERSC partnership ends our two-year relationship with the Nation Institute. We are grateful to the Institute for helping us to establish ourselves and grow in the years after the Gaza conflict, and for helping to publish our book on the Goldstone Report. We are especially thankful to Hamilton Fish, the former director of the Nation Institute, for his vision and bravery in bringing us in.
We expect great things of this partnership. CERSC has intellectual courage, it is used to daring thinking, and it will help us to get to the next level, both in substance and influence. This is a day of celebration for us because we are gaining an enthusiastic partner, with whom we hope to grow and learn. Soon we’ll announce a fundraiser to launch the relationship– today we’re popping corks.
