Among the seminal figures in linguistic theory over the past century, since the 1960s Chomsky has also secured a place as perhaps the leading dissident voice in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChomsky's many bestselling works--including \u003cem\u003eManufacturing Consent\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHegemony or Survival\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Power\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eFailed States\u003c\/em\u003e--have served as essential touchstones for dissidents, activists, scholars, and concerned citizens on subjects ranging from the media to human rights to intellectual freedom. His scathing critiques of the U.S. wars in Vietnam, Central America, and the Middle East have been the intellectual inspiration for antiwar movements over nearly five decades. As the political landscape has changed over the course of Chomsky's life, he has remained a steadfast voice on the left, never wavering in his convictions and always questioning entrenched power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Essential Chomsky\u003c\/em\u003e assembles the core of his most important writings, including excerpts from his most influential texts.
