Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. This selection of Chomsky's essays and lectures comes divided into geographical areas, but the issues are global in scope and import. In dissecting the rhetoric and logic of American empire and class domination, at home and abroad, Chomsky continues a longstanding and crucial work of elucidation and activism. His latest updates elaborate upon his signature themes—the double standards applied by the centers of U.S. power, including the mainstream media and intellectual culture, and the pervasive disconnect between American policies and public opinion in what Chomsky dubs a dysfunctional democracy. But this book flags another major interest of Chomsky's, signaled in the title: global avenues of resistance, in particular the democratic and independent course being forged across Latin America (where several of these lectures were originally delivered). There are significant redundancies and polemical flourishes, but the writing remains unswervingly rational and principled throughout, and lends bracing impetus to the real alternatives before us. (Mar.)

Chomsky again proves to be the master story teller by researching the history, back room deals, and political efforts of those who have to win at all costs. His writing is a must to read if we are to be critical thinkers and truly be engaged in our political process. Through his insightful writing, Chomsky forces us to ask difficult questions.

Noam Chomsky again lays it out in this book. I would recommend all of Chomsky's books to anyone interested in the real history of the United States and its relationship to other countries.

Noam Chomsky lets his views out there often. This book is no different as he tackles the ideas of American exceptionalism. He talks about the competing theories of International relations and how they have affected our world's history.

If you're wanting to leave the cave from Plato's allegory, read this.
It is so refreshing to read the words of a man as articulate and direct as Chomsky.
This book has been eye opening and addictive, highly recommended.

the usual Chomsky
Reviewed in Germany on July 2, 2011Verified Purchase
As his readers are already used to, in "Hopes and prospects" Chomsky heavily criticizes modern (mostly US) politics, starting from the collonial times and ending with the struggle of the third world to set itself free of the rich centres' of power deadly grip. Although the book does not offer much new material for readers already familiar with Chomsky, I would have given it four stars if it had a clear concept and order. However, it is actually a collection of several lectures Chomsky had given in Chile (as he himself says in the perface), arranged for a printed edition, with only loosely bounded chapters. Further, although as always very sharp and insightful in his comments, Chomsky quite often just wonders off a topic, or the opposite, stays too long on one. Nevertheless, the essence is more than clear, clearly argued and presented, and I can recommend the book to everybody interested in a critical view of the time we live in, and different from the one usually presented.
