Imperial Ambitions: Conversations on the Post-9/11 World (American Empire Project)
Noam Chomsky, David Barsamian

Metropolitan Books, 2005

the hobo philosopher
I hate reading this guy but I feel that it is my obligation. Mr. Chomsky has to be about as far left as left can go. But he is so well informed and so persuasive. He has got all the political arguments that most of us don't even want to consider. But you can't read Mr. ...
  
  











  



  
The Decline and Fall of Public Broadcasting: Creating Alternative Media
David Barsamian

South End Press, 2001

A brief but compelling argument
In this book David Barsamian quotes Ben Bagdikian as saying that in 1983 there 50 corporations dominating the media. In 2000 there were six. We have an ever shrinking handful of interlocking massive conglomerates controlling media outlets which people are forced to ...

South End Press, 2001

For a life more illuminated...

Terrorism: Theirs and Ours
Eqbal Ahmad, David Barsamian

Open Media, 2001

Required reading for people who want real freedom
This book affirms that American foreign allies are classified on whether their own goals converge or diverge from our own. During the 1970's and 1980's we had partnered with Saddam, deciding that he was a 'brutal dictator' only when his objectives no longer echoed ...
  
  











  



  
What We Say Goes: Conversations on U.S. Power in a Changing World
Noam Chomsky, David Barsamian

Metropolitan Books, 2007

Please read this book, American!
I didn't read the whole book yet. The first few pages' idea mirrors a classic Chinese saying, "those who steal jewels are executed; those who steal the state are made kings." (qie-zhu-zhe-zhu, qie-guo-zhe-hou). Some other reviewer mentioned that some facts may not have ...
  
  











  



  
Speaking of Empire and Resistance: Conversations with Tariq Ali
Tariq Ali, David Barsamian

New Press, 2005

Learnt a Lot
As a solitary, anguished New Yorker, afflicted by the nightmares of this world, I found the Ali-Barsamian conversation both refreshing and cheery. To be honest I learnt a great deal and can now read the NYT more critically. I have never read such material on ...
  
  











  



  
Eqbal Ahmad: Confronting Empire

South End Press, 2000

Simple yet hard-hitting. A must read
I read this book in 3 hours on a long haul flight and then talked my neighbouring passenger into following suit. It's that good. A stirring page turner with simple unawashed straight-talk about politics, religion, world order, even the vagaries of corporatization. ...

Targeting Iran (City Lights Open Media)
David Barsamian, Noam Chomsky, ...

City Lights Publishers, 2007

Interviews on the Past, Present & Future of the U.S.-Iran Relationship
The war drums in Washington beat ever louder, to the accompaniment of saber-rattling rhetoric toward Iran. Although daily talk of the Islamic Republic fills our newspapers and TV screens, many vital questions remain unaddressed in the mainstream media. Is the tough ...
  
  











  



  
Culture and Resistance: Conversations with Edward W. Said
Edward W. Said

South End Press, 2003

Sane Politics in Israel/Palestine
Edward Said died on September 25, 2003, after a long battle with leukemia, and along with him the foremost voice for justice for Palestinians in the United States. The six conversations herein took place between 1999 and 2003. Despite the gravity of the subject ...
  
  











  



  
Innuendo Non Troppo: The Work of Gregory Barsamian
David J. Brown, Gregory Barsamian, ...

Contemporary Arts Center, 1998

Escaping the fantastic dream world within the artist's mind, Gregory Barsamian's animated contraptions bring the subconscious to life. His surreal and often provocative sculptures walk a fine line between the real and the imaginary. Using strobe lights, motorized frames and other devices, Barsamian creates animated sequences where objects ...

The Future of History: Interviews with David Barsamian
Howard Zinn, David Barsamian

Common Courage Press, 1999

I Respect Howard Zinn, Too bad he's a Marxist:
"The Future of History" is an enlightening read if you agree that Marxism is the direction this country should be heading in. And even though Zinn's historical zeitgeist struggles to pedagogically be the proverbial elenchus to capitalism. Zinn's objurgation of ...
  
  











  



  
Keeping the Rabble in Line: Interviews with David Barsamian
Noam Chomsky, David Barsamian

Common Courage Press, 1994

Good Chomsky starting point
Ok, so I read the longish review a couple down from this, and although it seemed to be well laid out, there is one point of reference missing. Noam Chomsky takes no "political" stance against "conservatives", "liberals", "communists", "libertarians" or any other ...
