Noam Chomsky is a world-renowned
linguist, scholar, and political analyst. Born on December 7,
1928 in Philadelphia, Chomsky became politically conscious at
a very young age, writing his first political article, on the
fight against fascism in Spain, when he was only ten years old.
His 1957 work Syntactic Structures revolutionized the
field of linguistics, fundamentally changing the current understanding
of language and mind. Chomsky joined the faculty of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in 1955, and in 1976 was appointed Institute
Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy.
He has written and lectured extensively on linguistics, philosophy,
international affairs, U.S. foreign policy, and other contemporary
political issues. His essays have appeared in The New York
Review of Books, The Nation, Z Magazine, CAQ,
and numerous political and scholarly publications. Chomsky's
groundbreaking work on Palestine and the Middle East, East Timor,
the Gulf War, and the mass media have gained international attention.
As evidence of his broad appeal and importance, he was the subject
of the award-winning 1993 film "Manufacturing Consent:
Noam Chomsky and the Media," and excerpts from his speeches
have appeared on the b-side of a single by the band Bad Religion.
Chomsky is the author of many books. His 9-11 has been
published in twenty-six countries. The companion book to this
film, Power
and Terror, is published in English by Seven Stories
Press, and is scheduled to be published in many languages throughout
the world. |
