‘One of the greatest, most radical public thinkers of our time’ ARUNDHATI ROY
An accessible, powerful overview of Noam Chomsky's political thought
In sixteen extended talks with Alternative Radio's David Barsamian, Noam Chomsky explains:
- Why the 'war on drugs' is really a war on poor people.
- How attacks on political correctness are attacks on independent thought.
- How historical revisionism has recast the United States as the victim in the Vietnam War.
Widely recognized as one of the most original and important thinkers of our age, Chomsky's trenchant analysis of current events is a breath of fresh air in a world more and more polluted by mainstream media.
Noam Chomsky is institute professor emeritus in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and laureate professor in the Agnes Nelms Haury Program in Environment and Social Justice at the University of Arizona. His work is widely credited with having revolutionized the field of modern linguistics, and he is equally renowned for his incisive writings on global affairs and U.S. foreign policy. The single most cited and published living author, winner of numerous international awards, Chomsky has written over one hundred books, including the bestselling political works Hegemony or Survival, Failed States, and Who Rules the World?.
