At the time of the forming of ISIS, discussions with Dr. Bhasker Vashee, international economist and policy analyst, led to the notion of "science for survival," a combination of indigenous knowledges necessary to survive the onslaught of modernity with the best of high-technology ecological solutions. Preserving old traditions and combining them with the newest science in creative ways is the goal of this project...

  ISIS president Dr. Herbert J. Bernstein.

The pamphlet was informed by the experience of Bhasker Vashee, a former General Secretary of the Rhodesian African Students’ Union and student at University College of Rhodesia who had been imprisoned and then deported to Britain for campaigning against white minority rule.
