Hedges and Giroux: The Age of Manufactured Ignorance
"The Red Scare, Giroux warns, is alive and well in America."
The Second Sight of W.E.B. Du Bois, by Chris Hedges
]Racism, [Du Bois] saw, was not only endemic to capitalism and imperialism but deformed historical narratives, the stories that got told and those that did not.
Henry A. Giroux | Higher Education and the Promise of Insurgent Public Memory
Giroux: The current historical moment calls for a politics that is transnational in its scope, global in its sense of responsibility and capable of creating new democratic public spheres in which it becomes possible to show private troubles can be connected to larger social issues, and public connections and modes of solidarity can be sustained beyond the private sphere. Only then will the promise and possibility of creating a radical global commons in the service of a radical democracy come into view.
