Cultural Writing. In RADICAL PRIORITIES, C.P. Otero sets out to "provide relatively easy access to Chomsky's libertarian philosophy and political analysis." Taken from a wide variety of sources, many never published-some never in a book at all-and spanning four decades, the reader is furnished with a truly comprehensive window into Chomsky's anarchist convictions (convictions which, while ever-present in his analysis, are left largely misunderstood or worse, ignored). In seeking to combat the great challenges facing humanity, Chomsky's analysis and the traditions on which his work draws should not be left in obscurity. Noam Chomsky is a renowned scholar, founder of the modern science of linguistics, political and social analyst, media critic, tireless lecturer and author of more than 90 books.
