文化面面觀
Howard Zinn 和 Noam Chomsky 是兩位政治激進(jìn)主義者,他們的觀點(diǎn)在美國(guó)有很大的反響。
1. Howard Zinn
Howard Zinn is most famous for his 1980 book A People's History of the United States, a "radical" view that has earned him the reputation of revising history with an anti-American bias. Called "history from the bottom up" by some, Zinn's book sought to tell the story of the United States from the perspective of the disenfranchised minorities rather than the more traditional perspective of the powerful elite. A decorated veteran of World War II, Zinn was educated at Columbia University in New York, then taught in Georgia during the 1950s. In the late 1960s he began teaching at Boston University in the political science department, and he and Noam Chomsky (of MIT) were two of the nation's most prominent academics in opposition to the war in Vietnam; in the '70s and '80s he was a critic of US policy in Central America; and in the '90s he was a critic of the Gulf War. His social activism and written works have earned him scorn over the years, but his history book is a standard text in many US high schools and he has had a strong influence on the public's perception of Columbus, the Founding Fathers and American foreign policy.

2. Noam Chomsky
Noam Chomsky is a leading linguistic scientist and a longtime professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His 1957 book Syntactic Structures outlined his theories of transformational generative grammar and made him a prominent and controversial figure in the field. Chomsky is also known as a political activist suspicious of big media, big business and big government. His books include Manufacturing Consent (《制造共識(shí)》) (1988) and Propaganda and the Public Mind (《宣傳與公共心靈》) (2001). He is sometimes compared with another scholarly activist, Bertrand Russell.
Chomsky was the inspiration for the name given the sign-language chimp Nim Chimpsky.
