Sobre IBD

Why is fear a dominant emotion in contemporary society? Why are politicians using words like ’terror’, ’evil’ and ’fundamentalism’, and what effect is it having on public consciousness?This book taps into the cultural psyche to explore the link between ideology and emotional and psychological manipulation. It shows that the Bush administration has been hugely successful in controlling and developing a new political climate through the creation of an almost hypnotic mass consciousness. From the sado-masochist hysteria of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ‚ to the atrocities at Abu Ghraib prison; and from the genocidal use of depleted uranium in Iraq to the apocalyptic language driving the Christian Right’s assault on basic human rights.Davis’s findings take us to the heart of the ideological paralysis of the Left, while offering an innovative approach to understanding contemporary history.

  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...
