Bem Gelada

A new list:

Born at the last Caracol-Intergalaktika at the last World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, 2005, Bem Gelada is a group of actvist-researchers, or people who consider the intellectual work they do as part and parcel of developing the theories and politics of the alternative globalization movement-- globally and in the places where we all are. The list will serve as a site for coordinating the creation of a web-portal and resource base, as well as a space to post relevant and politically incisive pieces of writing. This list is meant as a first attempt to connect European and North American activist-research networks of this sort with Latin American ones, as such all messages and posts will be in both English and Spanish.

A nice name. I think it means 'well chilled'.
