| Summary |
"We all know what Noam Chomsky is against. His scathing analysis of everything that is wrong with our society reaches more and more people every day. His critiques of - among other things - capitalism, imperialism, domestic repression and government propaganda, have become mini-publishing industries unto themselves. But, in this flood of publishing and republishing, very little ever gets said about what exactly Chomsky stands for, his own personal politics, his vision of the future." "Chomsky on Anarchism shows a different side of this author: the anarchist principles that have guided him since he was a teenager. This collection of Chomsky's essays, talks and interviews - selected and introduced by Barry Pateman, Associate Editor of UC Berkeley's Emma Goldman Papers - includes pieces that have never been published anywhere before, interviews available in English for the first time, as well as rare material that first saw the light of day in hard-to-find pamphlets and anarchist periodicals. Taken together, they paint a fresh picture of Chomsky, showing his life-long involvement with the anarchist community, his constant commitment to nonhierarchical models of political organization, and his hopes for a future world without rulers." "For anyone inspired by Chomsky's trenchant analysis of our current situation, as well as anyone looking for an intelligent and coherent discussion of anarchism itself, Chomsky on Anarchism will be an exciting, and surprising, experience."--Jacket |
