The most comprehensive collection of Antonio Gramsci's writings on the relationship between culture and politics available in the English language.
';One of the definitive works on the Israeli Palestinian conflict' from the celebrated New York Timesbestselling author of Hopes and Prospects (Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! and author of Breaking the Sound Barrier). From its establishment to the present day, Israel has enjoyed a unique position in the American roster of international friends. In Fateful Triangle, Noam Chomsky explores the character and historical development of this special relationship. The resulting work ';may be the most ambitious book ever attempted on the conflict between Zionism and the Palestinians viewed as centrally involving the United States. It is a dogged expose of human corruption, greed, and intellectual dishonesty. It is also a great and important book, which must be read by anyone concerned with public affairs' (Edward W.Said, from the foreword). ';A devastating collection of charges aimed at Israeli and American policies that affect the Palestinian Arabs negatively.' Library Journal ';Brilliant and unscrupulous.' The Observer ';A major, timely and devastating analysis of one of the great tragedies.' The Tribune ';Formidable.' The Jewish Quarterly

One of our greatest political minds ';challenges us to think more independently and more deeply about the human consequences of power and privilege' (Norman Solomon, author of Made Love, Got War). Renowned interviewer David Barsamian showcases his unique access to Chomsky's thinking on a number of topics of contemporary and historical import. Chomsky offers insights into the institutions that shape the public mind in the service of power and profit. In an interview conducted after the important November 1999 ';Battle in Seattle,' Chomsky discusses prospects for building a movement to challenge corporate domination of the media, the environment, and even our private lives. Whether discussing US military escalation in Colombia, attacks on Social Security, or growing inequality worldwide, Chomsky shows how ordinary people, if they work together, have the power to make meaningful change. ';In Propaganda and the Public Mind, we have unique insight into Noam Chomsky's decades of penetrating analyses... drawn together in one slender volume by a brilliant radio interviewer, David Barsamian.' Ben H.Bagdikian, Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist ';To anyone who wonders if ideas, information, and activism can make a profound difference in the twenty-first century, I say: ';Read this book.'' Norman Solomon, author of The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media Praise for Noam Chomsky ';The conscience of the American people.' New Statesman ';Chomsky is a global phenomenon... perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet.' The New York Times Book Review ';There is no living political writer who has more radically changed how more people think in more parts of the world about political issues.' Glenn Greenwald, journalist ';A truth-teller on an epic scale. I salute him.' John Pilger, journalist, writer, and filmmaker

When the curfew ends, he and his friend discover an unused patch of ground that's the perfect site for a football pitch.

Penelope Alegria's Milagro is a retracing of parental lineage, a recount of the stories that course through the veins of family. The collection examines the effects of immigration from the perspective of both the immigrant and the immigrant’s child, investigating how the act of leaving reverbrates through generations. These poems echoe with fondness and longing, with love and sacrifice that reflects the first-generation American’s struggle to belong.
