Yet another solid offering from Chomsky, which brings you up to the Post 9/11 years. This includes the Obama years, which are often simply a continuation of Bush's policies both in foreign and domestic affairs. As I have reacquainted myself with Chomsky's work after years, I've been amazed at how...
I would recommend this book to International Relations students or any current affairs / social politics enthusiast. This book reminds me of 'Diskusi Koridor', regular afternoon talk I used to attend in college, for covering many subject matters that most people talk about. Chomsky, in his conver...
I admit, this is another book that I didn't finish. While the topics discussed are obviously important and warrant attention,I feel that they deserve better coverage than what they got in this book. The subtitle of the books reads "Conversations on Global Democratic Uprisings and the new Challeng...
Ricordo che ero molto giovane quando mi sono comprata uno dei miei primi libri. Era un saggio sulla storia di El Salvador, un paese latinoamericano di cui avevo sentito in televisione senza averci capito nulla. Speravo che leggendo avrei capito. Se non ricordo male, invece mi si ingarbugliarono a...
Good. Though the format especailly after the first section is of question and answer composed of interviews Chomsky had given in teh 1990s.Reading it I understood a bit better how things are now, how we got here, why things are so bad,and why they arent getting better.We need a total shift, cultu...

The best of Chomsky's recent talks on the past, present, and future of the politics of power. In a series of enlightening and wide-ranging discussions, all published here for the first time, Chomsky radically reinterprets the events of the past three decades, covering topics from foreign policy d...
501 سنة، الغزو مستمر قلت في مراجعتي السابقة لمجموعة كتابات نعوم تشومسكي (أشياء لن تسمع بها أبدا ً)، أن القارئ سيخرج منها بغضب ومرارة، أضيف بعد قراءة هذا الكتاب الرعب والاشمئزاز، إن ما يرويه تشومسكي في هذا الكتاب هو تاريخ دموي، أسود، عانى منه أغلب سكان العالم، وتشومسكي يستغل الاحتفال بمرور 500 ع...
This book presents a state-of-the-art account of what we know and would like to know about language, mind, and brain.

NC: For the last ten years especially, there has been a very strong shift in Israeli mentality and politics toward the right, nationalism, toward more extremism, there is a kind of circling the wagons mentality which was also true in South Africa toward the end. “The world hates us because they a...
Irrational Disdain As the US proceeded to “assume, out of self-interest, responsibility for the welfare of the world capitalist system” after World War II, it also extended the “experiments in pragmatism” that it had been conducting in its narrower domains to “accelerate the process of national g...

I should know that song. Yes, it’s true. When people wanted enough freedom that they couldn’t be enslaved or killed or repressed, new modes of control naturally developed to try to impose forms of mental slavery so they would accept a framework of indoctrination and wouldn’t raise any questions...
security.In view of the poll, it would seem that there are more pertinent questions: Can the United States be contained and other nations secured in the face of the U.S. threat?In some parts of the world the United States ranks even higher as a perceived menace to world peace, notably in the Midd...
