Posted on February 9, 2010

“Serious” journalism at Politico:

At times, having Obama in the Oval Office is like having a really powerful Dr. Phil around.

  • Rapt to announce that my 2017 @versobooks title, ‘Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing Out of Catastrophe’, has been released in a translated #Arabic edition (thanks to @kw_nccal). Now available across the #Arab world, an e-book + 43,000 physical copies are in circulation for only US$1 per copy, I’m pleased that the book will now see a wider audience because the issue of people and corporations making $ from misery is global. When my first book, My Israel Question, was released in a 2012 Arabic translation, it helped spread its message beyond the relatively narrow English speaking world. Details in bio. #journalism #book #translation #world
  • We took a fascinating tour in #Palermo #Sicily with an immigrant, Ibrahim from #GuineaConakry, who showed us where and how newly arrived migrants try and start a new life. #Italy is increasingly hostile to refugees but a small community of locals and foreigners have come together to offer solidarity and practical support. So glad @ali_m_martin ❤️spotted this tour. #italy #salviniparassita #racism #resistance
  • #Palermo #Sicily is a magical city because of its ancient history and more recent attempts to kick out the mafia. Incredible to read that as recently as the early 1990s, the mafia controlled the streets and much of society. #italy #resistance #light #winter #toddlerstrut
  • The first synagogue recently reopened in #Palermo #Sicily after 500 years. Situated in the ancient #Jewish quarter, there are now signs in Italian, Arabic and Hebrew (though the translations are wrong) and although it was closed when we visited it was encouraging that these vital aspects of history are coming back to life. Churches and Christian iconography were everywhere in the area. #italy #judaism #arabic #hebrew #history
  • Energetic #Palermo buskers reminded me of the great #French #Spanish musician #ManuChao. #sicily #italy #music
  • Massimo Theatre in #Palermo is one of the largest such venues in #Europe. Closed for years due to the city’s past mafia influence, today it’s a sparkling place with some crumbling ceilings. Thanks to @ahlmarkable for the tip. #italy #mafia #godfather3shothere #sicily
