Noam Chomsky's new book, "Power and Terror"


Some of you might have remembered him from some of the listenings we've done in class.

In some of my classes I've used Noam Chomsky's essays both because he speaks so clearly, (easy to understand when listening) and also because his ideas are generally controversial at best (for class discussion) or at least different from what the general public thinks of 'Americans' and how they think.

His new book has just been published.



" Power and Terror: Post 9-11 Talks and Interviews"

ISBN link buy now from Amazon.co.uk

Power and Terror, Noam Chomsky's highly anticipated follow-up to 9-11, is drawn from a series of public talks that Chomsky gave during the spring of 2002, as well as a lengthy unpublished interview. It presents Chomsky's latest thinking on terrorism, U.S. foreign policy, and alternatives to militarism and violence as solutions to the world's problems. Chomsky challenges the United States to apply to its own actions the moral standards it demands of others, and arrives at a surprisingly optimistic conclusion rooted in his faith in the power of an informed public.

Look soon in the listening if you're interested in this type of stuff. He's on my list of to-do's. (somewhat near the top)
