Noam Chomsky
The Uses of Haiti (3rd Edition)
Paul Farmer
Common Courage Press
, 2005
Wake up America!
The content, in the beginning, was difficult for a non political/history reader....but before long I was locked in and was amazed...appalled...at the role of our government in keeping the Haitian people in 'slavery' while claiming to support democracy. Life is a ...
Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance (American Empire Project)
Noam Chomsky
Holt Paperbacks
, 2004
A thoroughly enlightening work that raises some serious questions
Noam Chomsky in this book offers an amazingly compelling account of historical events to justify his main theses, as well as insight that would befit even the most informed American. His theses are that America is singularly bent on global hegemony and utter ...

The Essential Chomsky
Noam Chomsky
New Press
, 2008
Noam Chomsky, one of the greatest living Intellectuals.
This book provides a good overview of Chomsky's work. It covers both his political and psychological work and captures his unique, original and highly intellectual insights into many areas. It is in my opinion a good introduction to the great man and ideal for someone ...
What We Say Goes: Conversations on U.S. Power in a Changing World
Noam Chomsky,
David Barsamian
Metropolitan Books
, 2007
Fine critique of US (and therefore British) foreign policy
Chomsky consistently finds documents and articles that the rest of us have missed. Like all his books, this is full of fascinating revelations. His title comes from a speech by George Bush senior in 1991, when he said that the main principle of his new world order ...
9-11
Noam Chomsky
Open Media/Seven Stories Press
, 2001
Important Context for 9/11 that's Hard to Find Elsewhere
This is a collection of talks and interviews so it lacks the political models and theories that Chomsky applies to U.S. politics and media that are found in his larger and more in depth works. This book is probably best suited for the moderate dissident or ...
Media Control, Second Edition: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda (Open Media Series)
Noam Chomsky
Open Media
, 2002
Chomsky is brilliant, but ...
Brilliant, very insightful. I have only one problem with Noam Chomsky's position - his absolution of general population from responibilities of their goverment. Yes, America is a big bully and there is a lot of propaganda, but isn't it what the majority wants to hear? ...
Chomsky on Anarchism
Noam Chomsky
AK Press
, 2005
My favorite Noam Chomsky title of all times!!!
"Chomsky on Anarchism" is a wonderful introduction to Chomsky's anarchist ideals. Like all of Chomsky's writings, this collection of interviews and essays is insightful and deep, a clear anaylsis of the real, underlying problems in our world today, like US imperialism, ...
The Chomsky-Foucault Debate: On Human Nature
Noam Chomsky,
Michel Foucault

Unusual clarity
Helps the reader easily grasp both authors divergent and convergent insights on language. The material on politics was enlightening.

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 ...
Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky
Noam Chomsky,
Peter Mitchell
New Press

The Chomsky Reader
Noam Chomsky
Pantheon
, 1987
And the truth shall make you free
"One may choose to have selective faith in the domestic political leadership, adopting the stance that Hans Morgenthau, one of the founders of modern international relations theory, condemned as 'our conformist subservience to those in power'--THE REGULAR STANCE OF ...
Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies
Noam Chomsky
South End Press
, 1989
I love it. If Only I Could Read It!
I am influenced by Chomsky more than any other political philosopher (although he seems to encompass much more than a mere career categorization). I've studied him on and off for the past five years, and I find it harder and harder to rely on mass media (TV, radio, ...
Anarchism: From Theory to Practice
Daniel Guerin
Monthly Review Press
, 1970
Best slim volume intro out there
I read this book in a day, and filled the margins with many, many notes, something I rarely do. Clearly, Gruien doesn't cover every aspect of Anarchism, but for a brief introduction to Proudhon, Bakhunin and Kropotkin, it is the best out there. And, our very own ...
