[WSMDiscuss] Fwd: Martin Khor: The Making of a Global Activist (Walden Bello)

Another warrior walks on…, Warriors in movement…, Studies in movement...

“Here is an attempt, imperfect undoubtedly, to capture the many dimensions of that global activist extraordinaire Martin Khor….

[I’ve already posted twice on Martin Khor walking on - simply because of my regard and respect for him.  But I’m now doing so yet again, but this time a truly extraordinary essay, and tribute, written by another ‘global activist extraordinaire’, Walden Bello – that in its own way is also a chronicle of the times that Martin (and Walden) lived through – and gave shape to, in so many ways.  I thought I knew Martin, a bit anyway; but there is so much more here.  So this, and in these times when we are all struggling to deal with the present as much to dream of the future, an extraordinary essay on someone who was clearly an extraordinary person…

[Thank you, Walden, for writing this – and for carving out the time and attention during these profoundly difficult and challenging times, to do Martin this honour; and to give all of us this loving gift :

Martin Khor : The Making of a Global Activist

Walden Bello

            In memory and in solidarity and celebration of a life well lived -
