Synopsis
Contents Dawn of Freedom by Faiz Ahmed Faiz Map of South Asia Biographical Sketch of Eqbal Ahmad Introduction by David Barsamian Foreword by Edward W. Said Chapter 1 Think Critically and Take Risks Chapter 2 Distorted HistoriesNotes Chapter 3 Do Not Accept the Safe Haven Selected Bibliography of Eqbal Ahmad's Writing Index Reviews Eqbal Ahmad, perhaps the shrewdest and most original anti-imperialist analyst of Asia and Africa was] a man of enormous charisma and incorruptible ideals. He had an almost instinctive attraction to movements of the oppressed and the persecuted and] a formidable knowledge of history.

He was a student of revolution and imperialismand a very good one.-Noam Chomsky, MIT Eqbal Ahmad was unique in combining compassion for the dispossessed-en masse and one by one; the intellectual capacity to analyze cultural, political, and economic issues on a transnational level; and an ability to raise his always eloquent voice on behalf of constructive and original solutions.-Victory Navasky, Publisher and Editorial Director, The Nation Fighting words, wise words, from one of the most powerful activist intellectuals of ou
