The third in a series of books published by City Lights Media, Chomsky writes regularly for the New York Times Syndicate, his arguments afford a persuasive counter–narrative to official reports on U.S. politics and policies during global crises. “For Chomsky, crises are viewed as overlapping, merging into each other in ways that often go unrecognized. In fact, Chomsky often brings together in his work issues such as terrorism, corporate power, American exceptionalism and other major concerns,” including social environmental impacts “providing maps that enable his readers refigure the landscape of political, cultural and social life in ways that offer up new connections and the possibility for fresh modes of theorizing potential resistance.” “He points to the efforts of the financial elite and their marketing machines to atomize people so they will be complicit the destruction of the environmental commons.” In his essays, he identifies no privileged, singularly oppressed groups in his works but remains an ardent defender of the impoverished, the excluded, and the marginalized persons oppressed by class, race, gender and other ideologies and social structural relations, making visible this oppression in its multiple forms.
