Noam Chomsky on Language, Democracy, and Social Justice: Second Edition

"On Language, Democracy, and Social Justice is a thoughtful and transformative book that raises crucial questions about the death of democracy and the rise of a unique form of authoritarianism in the United States. Reclaiming the connection between education and social change, it offers its readers an accessible, provocative, and insightful analysis around social justice and the savage ideologies, practices, and polices of neoliberalism." — Henry Giroux, Professor, McMaster University, The Paulo Freire Distinguished Scholar in Critical Pedagogy Few thinkers define their era—Noam Chomsky and Pierre W. Orelus are two of them. Across nine years of powerful conversation and reflective essays, they confront today’s most urgent issues: linguistic inequality, the crisis of democracy, neoliberalism, colonization, and the devastating reach of Western globalization on the world’s poor. Language, Democracy, and Social Justice: Chomsky’s Critical Intervention offers an uncompromising look at power, resistance, and hope. It offers a unique perspective on these issues. Educators and scholar-activists interested in challenging the long-standing status quo to inspire transformative social, educational, and political change must read this book.
