Synopsis "Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media: The Companion Book to the Award-Winning Film (in English)"
Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media is the companion book to the celebrated film of the same name about world-renowned linguist and social theorist Noam Chomsky. Winner of 15 international awards, Manufacturing Consent played commercially to packed theatres in over 300 cities worldwide and aired on national TV in 15 countries. At the box office, it is the most successful Canadian documentary in history. The film charts the life of America’s most famous dissident, from his boyhood days running his uncle’s newsstand in Manhattan to his current role as outspoken social critic. This companion volume explores the breadth of Chomsky’s thought, from his pioneering work in linguistics, to his radical politics, to his analysis of professional sports. A complete transcript of the film is complemented by key excerpts from the writings, interviews and correspondence of Chomsky, co-author Edward S. Herman, and others. Also included are further exchanges between Chomsky and his critics, additional historical and biographical material, filmmakers’ notes, a resource guide, and 300 stills from the film. Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media has been designed to help readers easily survey the breadth of Chomsky’s thinking.
