Description

One of the most astute and engaging political analysts, Parenti shows that culture is a changing process, an arena of conflict as well as consensus, the product of a dynamic interplay between a wide range of social and political interests. In a word, to understand a society, we need to understand the problem of culture as well as that of power. Parenti uses vivid examples and riveting arguments that range from the everyday to the esoteric to construct a work which is richly informed and written with style, with dashes of irony and humour.
