Publisher Comments:“Radical in the true sense of the word, [Parenti] digs at the roots which . . . sustain our public consciousness.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review A powerful selection of Michael Parenti’s most lucid and penetrating writings on real history, political life, empire, wealth, class power, technology, culture, ideology, media, environment, sex, and ethnicity. Also included are a few choice selections drawn from his own life experiences and political awakening. Parenti goes where few political observers dare to tread. Michael Parenti is the author of eighteen books, including Superpatriotism, Inventing Reality, and The Assassination of Julius Caesar. Book News Annotation:Prominent leftist public intellectual Parenti has built a reputation
for himself as a trenchant, yet engaging and accessible, critic of
capitalism, imperialism, and other forms of exploitation and violence
and this diverse collection of his writings will not disappoint his
fans (nor, probably, convince his detractors). Over the course of the
collection he takes on the corporate media, intellectual repression
in academia, the stolen presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 (not
that he's a fan of Al Gore or John Kerry), right wing judicial
activism, free-market orthodoxies and mythologies, racism, sexism,
homophobia, postmodern attacks on Marxism, the distortions of
dominant history, ill-informed demonizations of the Venezuelan
political process, his own life, and many other topics.
