U S -Middle East Policy (2 Tape Set)

This is the historic April 9, 1999, joint appearance by two leading dissident intellectuals before a standing-room-only audience at Columbia University. Chomsky and Said analyze the effects of U.S. policy on the region and, in the case of Edward Said, on his own family history. Chomsky narrates the history of U.S. duplicity and exposes the notion of its being an "honest broker" in the Middle East. Questions and answers focus on current events in Yugoslavia. April 9, 1999
