Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens:
Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality"
by Ward Churchill.
It's been read through w/errors corrected, headers stripped, page
numbers/section titles present, body text/section titles/footnotes
formatted. 312 pages. Lots of proper names.
Description:
Echoing Malcolm X commenting on the assassination of John F. Kennedy,
Churchill (American Indian studies, U. of Colorado at Boulder) sees
September 11th as "the chickens coming home to roost. " Anticipating the
shock such a sentiment is likely to elicit from Americans largely ignorant
of the role of their government in the world, he seeks to preempt America's
"collective, narcissistic self exaltation" (in the words of Daniel
Goldhagen) by presenting two comprehensive chronologies of U. S. military
actions at home and abroad from 1776 to 2003 and of U. S. "obstructions,
subversions, violations and refusals of international legality" since World
War II. A brief introductory essay considers issues raised by America's
collective ignorance and the failure of the left to adequately confront U.
S. violence and illegality.
