More About This Book

Overview

In a single volume, the seminal writings of the world's leading philosopher, linguist, and critic, published to coincide with his eightieth birthday. For the past forty years Noam Chomsky's writings on politics and language have established him as a preeminent public intellectual and as one of the most original and wide-ranging political and social critics of our time. Among the seminal figures in linguistic theory over the past century, since the 1960s Chomsky has also secured a place as perhaps the leading dissident voice in the United States. Chomsky's many bestselling works - including Manufacturing Consent, Hegemony or Survival, Understanding Power, and Failed States - have served as essential touchstones for dissidents, activists, scholars, and concerned citizens on subjects ranging from the media to human rights to intellectual freedom. In particular, Chomsky's scathing critiques of the U.S. wars in Vietnam, Central America, and the Middle East have furnished a widely accepted intellectual inspiration for antiwar movements over nearly four decades. The Essential Chomsky assembles the core of his most important writings, including excerpts from his most influential texts over the past forty years. Here is an unprecedented, comprehensive overview of Chomsky's thought

    Chomsky -- Essentially better read backwards.

    arnove, in a commitment to editing chomsky in chronological order, put the pole vault as the first hurdle in a high-hurdles event. the bf skinner critique, easily the linguistic specialist's interest is least interesting to the general reader. a few of the linguistic articles can hold the general interest. the other handful are best viewed from the back row in a debate hall.




    chomsky speaks for me when he examines the US foreign policy since wwii as an imperialistic exercise in spreading our influence over the "Grand Area". of particular interest was his revelations of US support for indonesia in its subjugation of East Timor. he opens the timeline, sharing the media's lack of interest, if not disdain for the newsworthiness and outright terror indonesia practiced in the name of stability.



    the selected articles cover in order all our troop deployments since the korean conflict, in particular how we involved ourselves in vietnam. chomsky has traced the role of insurgency from that war of choice, and our adaption of "counter-insurgency" tactics in every theatre since. he doesn't overlook the carribean, either.

    an interesting take-away for this reader, in light of all the dont-trust-your-government movements of the moment, chomsky gives reason for the right and left to dialogue on why and how we got in these predicaments. he identifies the uncritical assent the right and the left give to our imperialst policy, either directly or inadvertently.

    the book covers over 50 years of chomsky's work, from the early '50s through 2006. i skipped the closing chapter, the afterward to his "Failed States", as i have that book sitting on the shelf and look forward to reading it.

    in full-disclosure mode, i read this as a book-club selection; as an alumni of chomsky's closest academic affiliation. i don't recommend this for the general-purpose club or audience, unless for example, you are willing to be open to the idea of anarchy, and not feel compelled to paint black and white lines everywhere.
