Original. - Baker & Taylor
In wide-ranging interviews with David Barsamian, his longtime interlocutor, Noam Chomsky asks us to consider a world imperiled by climate change and the growing potential for nuclear war. These twelve interviews, conducted from 2013 to 2016, examine the latest developments around the globe: the devastation of Syria, the reach of state surveillance, growing anger over economic inequality, the place of religion in American political culture, and the bitterly contested 2016 U.S. presidential election. In accompanying personal reflections on his Philadelphia childhood and his eighty-seventh birthday, Chomsky also describes his own intellectual journey. - Baker & Taylor
A collection of wide-ranging interviews presents the famed linguist's views on the greatest threats to democracy worldwide and in America, including climate change, nuclear war, state surveillance, economic inequality, and religion. - McMillan Palgrave
In a compelling new set of interviews, Noam Chomsky identifies the âdry kindlingâ of discontent around the world that could soon catch fire.
In wide-ranging discussions with David Barsamian, his longtime interlocutor, Noam Chomsky asks us to consider âthe world we are leaving to our grandchildrenâ: one imperiled by climate change and the growing potential for nuclear war. If the current system is incapable of dealing with these threats, he argues, itâs up to us to radically change it.
The twelve interviews in Global Discontents examine the latest developments around the globe: the rise of ISIS, the reach of state surveillance, growing anger over economic inequality, conflicts in the Middle East, and the presidency of Donald Trump. In personal reflections on his Philadelphia childhood, Chomsky also describes his own intellectual journey and the development of his uncompromising stance as Americaâs premier dissident intellectual.
