‘One
of the radical heroes of our age … A towering intellect.’ The
Guardian
 Noam
Chomsky is universally regarded as one of the most brilliant writers
and thinkers alive today. He is among the ten most frequently cited
writers in the humanities, and is the only living member of this
list.
Originally
famous for his ground-breaking work in linguistics – his book Syntactic
Structures (1957) radically changed accepted views on language –
he also writes on politics and international affairs. His support
for human rights and his tireless capacity to critique tyranny,
injustice and inequality in all its forms has made him a key figure
for the anti-capitalist and anti-globalization movements. He is
perhaps the world’s leading critic of US imperialism. He is
Institute Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Pluto Press publishes many of Noam Chomsky’s books on international
politics, the media, US foreign policy, the Middle East and other
topics. See below for selected highlights, or click on the links
