Citizens of the empire the struggle to claim our humanity Jensen, Robert 1958- creator author text bibliography cau 2004 monographic eng print xxviii, 144 pages ; 19 cm Providing an analysis of the dominant political rhetoric--which is intentionally crafted to depress political discourse and activism--Jensen reveals the contradictions and falsehoods of prevailing myths, using common-sense analogies that provide the reader with a clear-thinking rebuttal and a way to move forward with progressive political work and discussions. With an ethical framework that integrates political, intellectual and emotional responses to the events of the past two years, Jensen examines the ways in which society has been led to this point and offers renewed hope for constructive engagement. --From publisher description.
