- Summary:
- An enormous chronological collection of over fifty interviews conducted with Chomsky from 1968 to present day. Many of the pieces have never appeared in any other collection, some have never appeared in English, and more than one has been suppressed. This expanded edition contains fifty pages of brand new interviews.
- The interviews add a personal dimension to the full breadth of Chomsky's impressive written canon -- equally covering his analysis in linguistics, philosophy, and politics. This updated, annotated, fully indexed new edition contains an extensive bibliography, as well as an intro-duction by editor Carlos Otero on the relationship between Chomsky's language and politics.
- Praise for previous edition:
- "For those who know [Chomsky] only as media analyst and critic of foreign policy, this wide-ranging book offers glimpses of his studies on language, anarchist theory, and critiques of radical politics." -- NACLA
- Noam Chomsky is a renowned scholar, the founder of the modern science of linguistics, a philosopher, a political and social analyst, a media critic, and author of more than one hundred books. Recipient of numerous prizes and awards, Chomsky ranks with Marx, Shakespeare and the Bible as one of the ten most quoted sources in the humanities. His previous works include the best selling 9-11, and the critically acclaimed AK Audio Collection.
- Carlos Otero, who also edited "Radical Priorities" by Noam Chomsky, teaches linguistics at the University of California at Los Angeles.
