«Los guardianes de la libertad» is the essay by Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman, published by Grijalbo in paperback (372 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyses how the press, radio and television build consensus and spread propaganda and disinformation, and denounces the manipulation of public opinion. It raises uncomfortable questions: how official truth is manufactured, how data is interpreted in favour of the powerful, and whether the press is truly free.
Original title: Manufacturing Consent (1988); translation by Carme Castells. Libro de Mano collection, 33.
Reference work for readers interested in political theory, sociology and the role of the media in society.
Avram Noam Chomsky is an American intellectual, philosopher, linguist, political activist, and social critic. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and an institute professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Among the most cited living authors, Chomsky has written more than 150 books on topics such as linguistics, war, and politics. In addition to his work in linguistics, since the 1960s, Chomsky has been an influential voice on the American Left as a consistent critic of the foreign policy of the United States, contemporary capitalism, and corporatocracy.
