As America today continues to engage in \"regime change\" in the Middle East and South America and elsewhere in the world, Chomsky's words remain prophetic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluded here is Chomsky's classic analysis of the Spanish Civil War as a revolutionary war from below, laying bare scholarly elites' hostility to mass movements and social change. This hostility, and the technocratic neoliberalism birthed in its wake, reveals not objectivity, but its opposite--the use of ideology to mask self-interest and obeisance to power. \u003cem\u003eObjectivity and Liberal Scholarship\u003c\/em\u003e is a crucial contribution to our age, and an indispensable lens through which to consider mainstream justifications for militarism today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noam Chomsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565848586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565848580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Noam Chomsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980103745791,"sku":"9781565848580","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e247d413-c095-4029-a48b-370d9f21dad2.jpg?v=1683248413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/objectivity-and-liberal-scholarship-noam-chomsky-9781565848580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
