Against the New Authoritarianism: Politics After Abu Ghraib

Giroux traces the descent of the US into authoritarianism, characterized by ruthless market fundamentalism, religious correctness that substitutes blind faith for reason, the growing militarization of everyday life, and corporate control of all elements of the dominant  media.  The case is made for critical education having the potential to identify, challenge, and destroy these unethical ideologies that threaten human freedom, peace, and democracy in America and around the world.
