| Noam Chomsky : On U.S. Colonialism in Haiti & Latin America | |
| Noam Chomsky on Crisis and Hope: Theirs and Ours Noam Chomsky, the MIT professor, author and dissident intellectual, just turned eighty years old this past December. He has written over 100 books, but despite being called the most important intellectual alive by the New York Times, he is rarely heard in the corporate media. We spend the hour with Noam Chomsky. He spoke recently here in New York at an event sponsored by the Brecht Forum. More than 2,000 people packed into Riverside Church in Harlem to hear his address, titled Crisis and Hope: Theirs and Ours. In his talk, Chomsky discussed the global economic crisis, the environment, wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, resistance to American empire and much more. [includes rush transcript] | |
