Ecological restoration is often approached as a technical challenge, but lasting recovery depends on restoring the cultural relationships that once sustained landscapes. Drawing on the traditional oasis communities of the Algerian Sahara, El Habib Ben Amara examines how modernization disrupted systems of water sharing, architecture, agriculture, and collective memory that had evolved over centuries. The article argues that environmental resilience cannot be rebuilt through engineering alone. Recovering local ecological knowledge and the social practices embedded within it is essential to restoring degraded ecosystems and creating sustainable futures rooted in both culture and place.by Brett Wilkins

Michael K. Smith examines Israel’s historical military and security relationships with governments and armed forces across Latin America, arguing that these links shaped counterinsurgency campaigns, authoritarian rule, and human rights abuses during the Cold War and beyond. The article traces alleged Israeli involvement in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, and other countries, connecting these histories to contemporary security policies under leaders such as Nayib Bukele. It contends that methods first developed in Palestine were later exported to the Americas, influencing state violence, mass incarceration, and repression, while highlighting enduring debates over accountability, international solidarity, and the legacy of theseconflicts.by Ellen Isaacs
The growth of the Democratic Socialists of America has renewed debate about the future of the US left. Ellen Isaacs argues that DSA’s electoral strategy and commitment to reforming capitalism through existing institutions divert energy from building an independent, mass working-class movement.

It calls instead for workplace organizing, militant collective action, and a revolutionary understanding of capitalism as the basis for achieving a society beyond exploitation and inequality.by Abayomi Azikiwe
