Review ------ "Stanley tracks propaganda's history across continents and through decades, illuminating its power to make people vote against their own best interests. And what he has found is [that] the words being used may be as important as the politics behind them."---Nick Osbourne, Boston Globe "Brilliant and incisive." (Survival: Global Politics and Strategy) "Winner of the 2016 PROSE Award in Philosophy, Association of American Publishers" "Rich and thoughtful. . . . The best way to fight propaganda is to become savvier about how it manipulates, how it actually works, as Stanley does in his work." (Desmog Canada) "Stanley has produced a highly stimulating book that brings the issue of propaganda to the attention of political philosophers and draws on an impressive range of philosophical and social scientific sources to illustrate his analysis and provide support for his cls. It is bound to be widely discussed and debated."---Jonathan Wolff, Analysis "How Propaganda Works deserves huge praise and should be read by anyone who cares about politics and language. Its trove of tools and ins is impossible to completely summarise here." (The National) "This is a valuable, one might say indispensable, book in a time when demagogues are succeeding at a level the world has not seen since World War II. I recommend it highly."---Robert J. Sternberg, PsycCRITIQUES "As with other books that expose hidden patterns in American political life from a great height (those that come to mind are Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent and Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow), the lofty perspective of How Propaganda Works challenges researchers to fill in gaps with more detailed, particular explanations of how and why."---Stephen Siff, Journalism & Mass Communications Quarterly "A book uniquely suited to its time. . . . An example of political philosophy at its finest." (Voegelinview) "Provides valuable ins into an important and timely subject."---Michiko Kakutani, New York Times Book Review Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) Review ------ "Jason Stanley's How Propaganda Works is a novel and significant contribution that should revitalize political philosophy."―Noam Chomsky "Filled with compelling examples, this book examines what propaganda is and what threat bad propaganda poses for democracy. The case it makes―which is conceptual, normative, historical, and empirical―is persuasive and provocative. Stanley is tackling an important topic that many philosophers ignore but shouldn't."―Tommie Shelby, author of We Who Are Dark "This ambitious book brings Stanley's ins from epistemology and philosophy of language to bear on the self-ing role of propaganda in democracy. Generous use of concrete political applications enliven the book's arguments and drive home the topic's normative importance."―Rae Langton, University of Cambridge Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) See all Editorial Reviews ( /dp/product-description/0691164428/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books&isInIframe=0 )
