	Advice for dissident scholars, by Brian Martin
		Dissident scholars can be attacked in various ways, including by denial of tenure, harassment, withdrawal of research grants, official reprimands, referral to psychiatrists, ostracism by colleagues, spreading of rumors, transfer to different locations or jobs, and dismissal.
		Dissidents need to be aware of the possibility of such a long-term commitment.
		Dissidents should be prepared for the most unscrupulous behavior by the other side.

	Dissident - Lee Congdon
		The Oxford English Dictionary defines dissident as "one who disagrees," or "one who dissents from the established or dominant form of religion." In East Central Europe, that religion goes by the name of communism, and those who dissent must therefore set themselves against the formidable power of the state.
		As a rule, these courageous men and women are apostates, disappointed idealists and quondam believers who were forced to look on as their dreams of emancipation and redemption turned into nightmares of oppression and damnation.
		In the long years since the book first appeared, he has lived the life of a dissident, one who cannot publish in his own country and who must be prepared to endure surveillance, harassment, prison, and public...

	Czech Literature And The Reading Public
		Both Czech emigrés in the West and the dissident community in Czechoslovakia were children of the 1960s liberalisation process and its culmination, the 1968 Prague Spring.
		It is interesting that even some major dissident writers - Jan Trefulka for example - regard the samizdat editions of their work as more significant than the printed editions which came out in the West.
		Dissident author and critic Frantisek Kautman nevertheless believes that in spite of all the cataclysms, Czech dissident and emigré literature has fared relatively well over the past six years, particularly in comparison with other strands of Czech literature.

		It should be noticed that these stories mention the dissident messages again and again, but with disclaimers.

	Dissident Unions Form Coalition

		The dissident unions have repeatedly been thwarted because they represent only 35 percent of the AFL-CIO membership and have been unable to win over other supporters.
		The dissidents' inability to win on any front has increased the chances that some or all will quit the labor federation.

	The Body: South Africa "AIDS Dissident" Dispute: Time to Stop and Think
		A bizarre dispute around "AIDS dissidents" who argue that HIV does not cause AIDS and oppose standard treatment to prevent maternal-infant transmission threatens to damage the World AIDS Conference in Durban (July 9-14, 2000) and divert attention from efforts to control the epidemic worldwide.
		The reasons are unclear, but many treatment activists in South Africa and elsewhere think the government fears that providing antiretrovirals to prevent transmission would lead to demands for antiretroviral treatment for everyone who needed it, demands which the government could not fulfill, given current prices and international trade rules.
		Which is why AIDS dissidents may have a big future among the 90% of the world's people with HIV who have no access to effective treatment.

		If the person in question who bestows the badge of honor has himself been called names and has paid the price for it, the compliment is that much more meaningful.
		I have no doubt that there are some sort of clandestine operations going on in Iran and I would not expect the Bush Administration to compromise the secret nature of these missions.
		It must be remembered that unlike Saddam’s Iraq, where nearly all dissidents resided outside Iraq, Iran has an active internal pro-democracy movement and American efforts would be ideally suited to encouraging that movement.

		Our "Declaration of Independence" and the "Consitution of the United States" were dissident writtings, yet they are the fundamental back-bone of our government and our way of life.

	Max Stirner, a durable dissident - in a nutshell
		Philosophers, provided that they had had Enlightenment-related ambitions, were always dissidents in their time.
		However, in the case of Stirner, the enlightened critic of Enlightenment, this has, contrary to superficial appearance, not yet occurred.
		Even in our time, which fancies itself to be postideological and actually considers intellectual dissidence as being obsolete, Stirner, in contrast to Marx and Nietzsche, has veritably remained a dissident -- a durable dissident indeed.

		It was in that capacity that al-Kirmani played an important role in refuting the extremist ideas of some dissident da‘is, who were then founding what was to become known as the Druze movement and religion.
		As part of the official Fatimid campaign against the dissident da‘is, who had also proclaimed al-Hakim’s divinity, al-Kirmani was summoned in 1014 or shortly earlier to Cairo where he produced several works in refutation of the extremist doctrines.
		Al-Kirmani’s writings, which were widely circulated, were to some extent successful in checking the spread of the extremist doctrines associated with the initiation of the Druze movement.
