Members of the Organic Intellectuals Network are active organizers in the struggle to achieve social justice. They have experienced the contradictions of the NGO discourse and, just like others before them, have found themselves in the struggle versus survival dilemma. To get a clear picture of our contemporary struggles and the despair of NGOs operating in the proletarian movement, comrades decided to reflect, study, and analyze Prof. Issa ShivjiÕs book Silences in NGO Discourse: The Role and Future of NGOs in Africa. For the authors, these analyses and reflections are based on personal experiences in their day-to-day organizing. In summarizing the authors' observations regarding the impacts of NGOs in organizing, this book calls into question the fundamental question, Ôwhy do NGOs exist?Õ To answer this question, the authors provide a historical chronology of the resistance in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the rest of Africa, relating those to the subjective factors in existence at every period. Through this, a scientific relationship can be drawn between social movements and NGOs in our current epoch. From their experiences with NGOs, the authors, representing grassroots social movements, highlight the dangers associated with donor funding. Often, donor funding ends abruptly after making people dependent on them, creating severe strain on grassroots organizations. The more one engages with NGOs, the softer one becomes to critique NGOs, particularly in highlighting their relationship to imperialism. Further, NGOs usually help in driving reforms. However, they play no part in revolutionary work. As a result, they merely preserve the present order and help exacerbate the frustrations arising from massive inequality in our society. In the long run, NGOs play a critical role in stifling the development and independence of grassroots social movements. This publication also includes two previously published essays by Prof Issa G Shivji, Silences in NGO Discourse: The Role and Future of NGOs in Africa, &, Reflections on NGOs in Tanzania: What We Are, What We Are Not and What We Ought To Be.

Nice
Size: One Size, Color: Black - Trifold
This is great quality and a nice design. It has plenty of slots for all my cards and bid enough for some cash. The only downside is the price as it’s a bit overpriced for what it is.

Excellent trifold wallet from Tommy! Beautiful design.
Size: One Size, Color: Tan - Trifold, Size: One Size, Color: Tan - Trifold
This Tommy Hilfiger Trifold wallet is luxurious in its look, feel, design, and function. It feels wonderful in the hand, with the smooth tie fabric-like inlay and great quality leather inside. I admire its unique look and design, which really stands out in the crowd of more plain leather wallets and metal wallets. I wish it had a button clasp, but if it stays in your pocket and in your hands, you shouldn't have a concern about anything getting loose on you. The card slots are accommodating in size and grip your cards easily, and I really appreciate that it has RFID protection, which keeps your chip cards safe and protected. This is an excellent everyday wallet and a very good choice. Highly recommended!

Horrible quality.
Size: One Size, Color: Brown - Passcase
It looks great as long as you dont use it. Within 2 days, the leather corners of the wallet started wearing out and losing the color. Its looking 2 years old with only 2 days of use. What a joke. Cant believe tommy hilfiger is putting their name on dollar store quality products.
