Description
Book SynopsisRecent history has seen profound change in the world's political landscape. With these changes, many formerly secure understandings of political terms have become lost, and the meanings of the words we use to describe our politics have become muddied.
Trade Review“Andrew Levine’s
Keywords is at the same time a political dictionary, a course on political philosophy, and an analysis of the current political scene and prospects. It is also extremely readable, its abundant learning lightened by Levine’s openness and wit, all helping to make
Keywords accessible to a wide range of people interested in politics, propaganda, and the human prospect.”
Edward S. Herman, co-author (with Noam Chomsky) of Manufacturing Consent, and author of Beyond Hypocrisy: Decoding the News in an Age of Propaganda “Learned and lucid, impiously defiant of the academic church, this syllabus of heresies is a liberal education by and for itself.”
Norman Birnbaum, author of After Progress: American Social Thought and European Socialism in the Twentieth Century
“Andrew Levine has performed a monumental feat. He clarifies meanings of words and concepts which have been drained of value, but which people use as ear plugs to increase the deafness of thought and practice in our befuddled period. This book is an amazing accomplishment.”
Marcus Raskin, co-founder of the Institute for Policy Studies and Professor, School of Public Policy George Washington University
