<p>“Giroux’s passion virtually burns up the pages. Giroux calls out the corporate, Orwellian forces destroying our ability to think—a dangerous activity in our authoritarian society. Watch out—this book might turn on the critical imagination circuits in your brain that Giroux argues are our only hope for building democracy.” <br />—Charles Derber, author of The Disinherited Majority and Sociopathic Society <br /><br />“In this outstanding book, Henry Giroux dismembers the violent extremism that seeks to dominate humanity. This book is a bracing, eloquent warning.” <br />—John Pilger, film director and journalist </p>
