From: Greg and Susan Bryant <gregandsusan@rainbowtel.net>
This paragraph is hard for me to understand because some of the terms are
used in a context that's new to me:
>the
>international solidarity movement ought to listen up when within any given
>country, civil society, the independent press, the grassroots movement, the
>democratic opposition and a majority of intellectuals insist that something
>is amiss. Unless it reassesses its position, the Haiti solidarity movement
>risks becoming an appendage to a populist regime that is becoming
>increasingly more repressive and subservient to US imperialism.
Can I get some specific defining examples of the following terms as the
author understands them? Say, two or three individuals or groups in each
category that are fairly representative:
- the international solidarity movement
- civil society
- the independent press
- the grassroots movement
- the democratic opposition
- intellectuals
- the Haiti solidarity movement
Thanks.
