Theory and Practice: Conversations with Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn

This timely, provocative set of one-on-one interviews presents two venerable figures from the American Left—renowned historian Howard Zinn and linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky—each reflecting upon his life and political beliefs. At the age of eighty-eight, Howard Zinn reflects on the Civil Rights and anti–Vietnam War movements, political empires, history, art, activism, and his political stance. Setting forth his personal views, Noam Chomsky explains the evolution of his libertarian socialist ideals, his vision for a future postcapitalist society, the Enlightenment, the state and empire, and the future of the planet.
