What we say goes: conversations on U.S. power in a changing world

The world's foremost critic of US foreign policy, Noam Chomsky explores the most immediate and urgent concerns in the world and shows how they affect us all. They include Iran's challenge to the United States, the deterioration of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the ongoing occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the rise of China, and the growing power of the left in Latin America, as well as the increasing influence of the Democrats in US politics and its ramifications for the future. As always, Chomsky presents his ideas vividly and accessibly, with uncompromising principle and penetrating insight.
The latest volume from a long-established partnership, What We Say Goes shows once again that no interviewer engages with Noam Chomsky more effectively than David Barsamian. These interviews will inspire a new generation of readers, as well as long-time Chomsky fans eager for his latest thinking on the many crises we now confront.
