***MICHAEL PARENTI is an award winning historian and author who has published some 250 articles and 19 books. Engaging, funny and focused, PARENTI is one of the most entertaining speakers on the political/historical circuit (which includes NOAM CHOMSKY, HOWARD ZINN and ARUNDHATI ROY). > This two-disc set (one DVD and one audio CD) covers his on-target observations, based on historical facts, of the U.S.'s tendencies towards creating a world empire in spite of--and often in opposition to--our democracy at home and democratic movements abroad. It also includes a fascinating, intimate look at how he became politically aware and one of the most well known academic troublemakers of the Vietnam era! The DVD collects two lectures on film: the fascinating "Empire" and "How I Became An Activist for Social Justice"; and a different (yet related) lecture on audio CD: "Democracy versus US World Domination". This DVD/CD set in an Amray case also comes with an eight-page booklet which includes a lengthy excerpt from his 1995 book Against Empire, an extensive bibliography, and other resources. His writings have been featured in popular periodicals, scholarly journals and leading newspapers. Various works of his have been translated into Arabic, Bangla, Bulgarian, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Arabic and Turkish. MICHAEL PARENTI has been hailed as an outstanding public speaker for social justice and progressive causes. He lectures widely around North America and abroad, and has appeared on radio and television talk shows to discuss current affairs or ideas drawn from his writings.
