UNDERSTANDING POWER: THE INDISPENSIBLE CHOMSKY
Book ID/图书代码： 12861020C00001
English Summary/英文概要： Noam Chomsky is universally accepted as one of the preeminent public intellectuals of the modern era. Over the past thirty years, broadly diverse audiences have gathered to attend his sold-out lectures. Now, in Understanding Power, Peter Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky’s recent talks on the past, present, and future of the politics of power.
In a series of enlightening and wide-ranging discussions, all published here for the first time, Chomsky radically reinterprets the events of the past three decades, covering topics from foreign policy during Vietnam to the decline of welfare under the Clinton administration. And as he elucidates the connection between America’s imperialistic foreign policy and the decline of domestic social services, Chomsky also discerns the necessary steps to take toward social change. With an eye to political activism and the media’s role in popular struggle, as well as U.S. foreign and domestic policy, Understanding Power offers a sweeping critique of the world around us and is definitive Chomsky.
Characterized by Chomsky’s accessible and informative style, this is the ideal book for those new to his work as well as for those who have been listening for years.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 诺姆•乔姆斯基是公认的现代杰出的公共知识分子之一。在过去的三十年里，各种各样的听众都来听他的讲座，座无虚席。现在，在《理解权力》一书中，彼得•米切尔和约翰•舍费尔汇集了乔姆斯基最近关于权力政治的过去、现在和未来的演讲中的精华。
乔姆斯基在这里首次发表了一系列具有启发性和广泛性的讨论，从根本上重新解读了过去30年的事件，涉及从越南时期的外交政策到克林顿政府时期福利下降的话题。乔姆斯基在阐述美国帝国主义外交政策与国内社会服务衰退之间的联系时，也看到了为实现社会变革而采取的必要步骤。着眼于政治激进主义和媒体在民众斗争中的作用，以及美国的外交和国内政策，《理解权力》一书对我们周围的世界进行了全面的批判，是乔姆斯基的权威著作。
这本书以乔姆斯基平易近人、内容翔实的风格为特点，对于那些刚刚接触他的作品的人以及那些多年来一直在听他演讲的人来说，这都是一本理想的书。（YYW）
Awards/获奖情况：《理解权力》是由社会政治分析家诺姆•乔姆斯基撰写的，内容涉及广泛，内含以前从未发表过的讨论和研讨会(1989年至1999年)的内容。
这些章节，每一章都涵盖了乔姆斯基的独立会话，以问答的形式出现，有时会引起令人愉快的争议。乔姆斯基提出了不同的话题，如美国的第三方政治，压制真正的不同意见，对强势媒体的幻想，美国帝国主义的高压（从东南亚到墨西哥），美国政治左派的功能失调和自我毁灭，肯尼迪和卡特政府的镀金，以及工会的无能状态。
Understanding Power is a wide-ranging collection of transcribed and previously unpublished discussions and seminars (from 1989 to 1999) with sociopolitical analyst Noam Chomsky.
The chapters, each covering discrete sessions with Chomsky, arrive in a question-and-answer format that at times becomes delightfully contentious. Chomsky holds forth on such disparate topics as American third-party politics, the stifling of true dissent, the illusion of a muscular media, heavy-handed American imperialism (from Southeast Asia to Mexico), a dysfunctional and self-destructing United States political left, the gilding of the Kennedy and Carter administrations, and the impotent state of labor unions.
