In On Western Terrorism Noam Chomsky, world-renowned dissident intellectual, discusses Western power and propaganda with filmmaker and investigative journalist Andre Vltchek. The discussion weaves historical narrative with the two men’s personal experiences, which have led them to a life of activism. Beginning with the New York newsstand where Chomsky first began his political education as a teenager, the discussion broadens out to the shifting forms of imperial control and the Western propaganda apparatus. Along the way Chomsky and Vltchek touch upon many countries of which they have personal experience, including Nicaragua, Cuba, China, Chile, and Turkey. A blast of fresh air which blows away the cobwebs of propaganda and deception, On WesternTerrorism is a powerful critique of the West’s role in the world and a testament to two lives dedicated to humanism, activism, and the search for knowledge.

FIGHTING AGAINST WESTERN IMPERIALISM compiles ten modified essays that were written during just a few months of the onslaught of the Western imperialism all over the world. Andre Vltchek had traveled the world searching for parallels, similarities; comparing scenarios. He tried to grasp, and then to explain, how the Empire really works, how it selects its targets, which countries it decides to destroy and why? He studied the 'opposition movements' manufactured by Washington and London, and how they get implanted in so many different parts of the world; basically wherever people and their governments still dare to insist on defending their own national interests and choosing their own political as well as economic systems.

Fighting Against Western Imperialism

Admirado por alguns, condenado por outros e temido por todos – o poderio militar do Ocidente é inegavelmente colossal. Em Terrorismo ocidental, o intelectual de renome mundial Noam Chomsky discute o poder e a propaganda do Ocidente com o cineasta e jornalista investigativo Andre Vltchek. O livro oferece a introdução perfeita ao pensamento político de Chomsky com uma abordagem acessível para quem deseja compreender melhor o importante papel do Ocidente no mundo, em um momento no qual a tragédia do Afeganistão nos faz lembrar as consequências aterrorizantes do imperialismo. Começando com histórias sobre as bancas de jornais de Nova York, onde Chomsky começou sua educação política quando adolescente, a discussão se amplia para abordar o colonialismo, o controle imperial, a propaganda, a Primavera Árabe e a guerra de drones. Chomsky e Vltchek formulam uma crítica poderosa do legado do colonialismo em muitos países, como Síria, Nicarágua, Cuba, China, Chile e Turquia. Atualizado com um novo prefácio de Chomsky, Terrorismo ocidental continua a ser uma crítica influente e poderosa do papel do Ocidente no mundo, inspirando todos os que o lêem a pensar de forma independente e crítica. "Noam Chomsky é indiscutivelmente o intelectual vivo mais importante hoje." – New York Times 'É uma leitura absolutamente essencial para quem deseja compreender o contexto atual da geopolítica contemporânea, revelando as histórias muitas vezes ocultadas que a deram origem ao problemas atuais, bem como destacando as questões urgentes que o mundo enfrenta e que geralmente são ignoradas." – Joe Turnbull, inkyneedles.com "É uma leitura esclarecedora, provocativa e reveladora e é um antídoto bem-vindo para a infinidade de livros e filmes sobre os 'horrores' do comunismo." – John Green, Morning Star "Chomsky é sem dúvida um dos maiores pensadores radicais e devemos dar-lhe crédito pela humildade e curiosidade que demonstra ao longo do livro." – Resenha de Livros de Marx e Filosofia
