Chomsky argues with characteristic precision that American imperial power operates through a carefully constructed system of propaganda and manufactured consent, designed to obscure the true motives behind interventionist policies in Latin America and beyond. With a tone that is both scholarly and urgently accessible, the lectures dissect the mechanisms by which powerful states justify domination — exposing the gap between official rhetoric and documented reality. Drawing on a wealth of historical evidence, Chomsky illustrates how ideology serves as a tool of control, shaping public perception to legitimize actions that would otherwise be recognized as violations of international law and human rights. Essential reading for students of political science, history, and media criticism, this collection remains as relevant today as when it was first delivered to a Nicaraguan audience living under the direct consequences of the policies Chomsky so meticulously uncovers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826079346907,"sku":"2026770000860-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c79a07a9-a301-4b75-b697-89e0f055214d.png?v=1780312219","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000860-secondhand-on-power-and-ideology-the-managua-lectures","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
