Empire of Illusion
The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle
Chris Hedges Alfred
A. Knopf Canada 2009
Excerpt
from Book Jacket:
"A culture that cannot distinguish between reality
and illusion dies. And we are dying now. We will either wake from our state of
induced childishness, one where trivia and gossip pass for news and information,
one where goal is not justice but an elusive and unattainable happiness, to confront
the stark limitations before us, or we will continue our headlong retreat into
fantasy. Those who cling to fantasy in time of despair and turmoil inevitability
turn to demagogues and charlatans to entertain and reassure them. And these demagogues,
as they have throughout history, lead the crowd, blinded and amused, towards despotism.
. . . Hedges exposes the mechanisms used to divert us from confronting the economic,
political and moral collapse around us He attacks the absurd idea that we can
always draw on inner resources and strengths to have everything we desire."

Chris Hedges explores the rise of the Christian right in America, drawing parallels
with the rise of fascism in Europe prior to the Second World War. How does the
vision of the United States as a Christian nation relate to our Bill of Rights?
Why does Hedges identify the increasing political power of Christian fundamentalism
as a war against America? This program is supported in part by a grant from the
