Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The Americas, both North and South, have been in motion with elections and political shifts that Noam Chomsky explores here with his characteristic independence and insight."Popular activism has repeatedly brought about substantial gains in freedom and justice," he writes. "The authentic hope of the Obama campaign is that the 'grass roots army' organized to take instructions from the leader might 'break free' and return to 'old ways of doing politics,' by direct participation in action." In Latin America, Bolivia and Haiti in particular, Chomsky shows how direct participation in action has put into practice a different model of democracy. We have much to learn from these struggles, which could portend more far-reaching, badly needed changes."During the past decade, Latin America has become the most exciting region of the world," he explains. "For the first time in half a millennium, South America is beginning to take its fate into its own hands." At stake is the question of the very nature of democracy."Washington has supported democracy if and only if it contributes to strategic and economic interests, a policy that continues without change through all administrations, to the present," he explains.

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.
