Arundhati Roy: Public Power in the Age of Empire
Date: 8/16/2004Call Number: CD 304Format: CDProducers: Alternative RadioProgram: ROY A8Collection: Compact discs and videos representing digitized copies of analog tapes
The U.S. is the world's greatest military power. Always projecting an image of reluctance and innocence, American presidents attack and intervene in the affairs of other countries. They routinely claim history, providence, destiny or some other abstraction has conferred certain obligations on Washington. The U.S. practices imperialism without formal colonies. Surrogates, often trained in the U.S., are recruited to rule. They implement and enforce Washington's rules. If the natives raise their heads and revolt the empire's centurions are called in. To effectively carry out its imperial projects the "free press" play the vital role of keeping the citizenry in the dark. What can the public do in the age of empire?
