FOURTH WORLD JOURNAL NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS AT HALF PRICE - New Issue available 28 August 2010!

Beginning in August and continuing through to the end of January 2011, the Fourth World Journal's subscriptions are half-price. Subscribe Now!

The Fourth World Journal begins a new era as an online subscription publication with the new edition Volume 9 Number 1 Summer. We are now publishing in three formats: On-line View, PDF and EPub. FWJ has been published for readers and delivered free for years. Due to escalating costs it has become unavoidably necessary for us to charge an annual subscription for two issues for a total of up to 300 pages. But to introduce everyone to our new FWJ we have posted a content sample for the just published Volume 9 Number 1 Summer edition.

We have enjoyed the loyalty of a large number of FWJ readers for years. We hope you will stay with us and take our First Year subscription challenge. Issues published before August 2010 will remain available for free.

From August through December 2010 we invite you to take advantage of our New Edition offer for Individual and Student subscription. On January 1st the rates will return to their normal level of $40.00 USD and $30.00 USD. If you subscribe now, you will also receive a one year entry into the Chief George Manuel Memorial Library Research Branch and periodic CWIS Climate Change Monitor updates (indigenous peoples' domestic and international negotiations toward a new Climate Change treaty).

Forth World Journal

The Fourth World Journal (FWJ) is the world's leading publication for ideas and analysis about and by writers from some of the world's more than six thousand Fourth World nations. Leading activists and scholars contribute lively and informative articles and essays found nowhere else. FWJ is a publication truly without peers. Contributors to FWJ reveal what otherwise remains hidden in other publications. FWJ delivers to the reader analysis, ideas and thorough scholarship that explains world events or activities in your backyard that may touch on the environment, political change, history, economics, social change, or the creative arts, what matters in your life and the life of people you care about. FWJ was the first publication to print Dr. David C. Hyndman's analysis of how the government of Indonesia introduced biological warfare in its offensive war against West Papua's indigenous nations (Summer 1989). Informative and incisive articles like "U.S. Expropriates Tribal Lands Legally," and an analysis of the "World Bank's Tribal Economic Policy" were first published in FWJ and were only later cited by other publications referring to the pages of FWJ. Articles and essays as varied as "The Human Rights Situation in Africa" by Moringe Parkipuny of Massai and "Potlatch Economics, a Lummi Perspective" by Larry Kinley have enriched FWJ pages. Some of the world's leading essayists, analysts and scholars in the Fourth World contribute to each volume. Now the Fourth World Journal is available for free viewing to the users of online telecommunications. Those who wish to have a combined two-volume copy of the Journal in your hands need only subscribe. If sufficient numbers of readers want a hardcopy then they will become available by the end of the publishing year. Now sit back and explore the ideas of the Fourth World in our Current FWJ Issues and in our Classic FWJ Issues!
