Published by the Social Justice Committee in Montreal, the
Upstream Journal aims to uncover any fouls
underfoot in human or environmental rights. The September/October
issue warns that both genetically modified trees and the
forthcoming Chinese-Tibetan railway are poised to encroach on
traditional ways by pushing out native plants and native Tibetan
culture, respectively. The issue also contains an interesting pair
of articles on Africa: an interview with Robert Calderisi, author
of
'The Trouble with Africa,' who denounces most
aid to the continent as futile; and a conversation with Stephen
Lewis, the UN Secretary General's special envoy for HIV/AIDS in
Africa, who heralds the outside efforts at curbing AIDS and
poverty in Africa. -- Rachel Anderson
