The writer draws the thread of empire through ostensibly disconnected arenas, highlighting in this book the parallels between the poverty draft in the United States, caste politics in India, AIDS in South Africa, reconstruction contracts in Iraq, and the perverse machinery of mass media worldwide. Above all, she issues a call to arms for people to liberate themselves from the enchantments of the self-appointed leaders of the "free world." Somehow, I've never read Noam Chomsky (I don't know how they let me into grad school). Roy is obviously a follower of his, and her book really jolted me. I read it in India, which made the impact even stronger. I was especially affected by the essays on how Big Dams have hurt villagers and the environment, and the way their protests have been ignored. Now I'd like to read Power Politics aucune critique | ajouter une critique
