This book assesses US influence and oppression in post-war Central America, before examining topics ranging from Cold War politics and the threat to global peace, to opportunities for activism.

Noam Chomsky is a world renowned linguist and one of our foremost social critics. He is Institute Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT and the author of numerous books for Pluto Press.
The author, well-known for his criticism of the U.S. government's Vietnam policy in the 1960s, here turns his attention to Central America. The text wavers between a political broadside and a scholarly analysis of our policy towards the region in the larger context of our Cold War posture and conservative tendencies. Other sources have already better documented the inconsistencies between our purported values and policies abroad, and our support of human rights abuses. The Central American focus is diffused by the emphasis on domestic political conservatism, a connection not particularly well drawn. For special collections only. Roderic A. Camp., Latin American Studies Dept., Central Coll., Pella, Ia.
