People who we don't know massacred people who we do. And they did so with contemptuous glee." Then he broke down and wept. Here's the rub: America is at war against people it doesn't know, because they don't appear much on TV. Before it has properly identified or even begun to comprehend the nature of its enemy, the US government has, in a rush of publicity and embarrassing rhetoric, cobbled together an "international coalition against terror", mobilised its army, its air force, its navy and its media, and committed them to battle. The trouble is that once America goes off to war, it can't very well return without having fought one. If it doesn't find its enemy, for the sake of the enraged folks back home, it will have to manufacture one. Once war begins, it will develop a momentum, a logic and a justification of its own, and we'll lose sight of why it's being fought in the first place.

Subscribe to Naomi Klein's Newsletter LA DOCTRINA DEL SHOCK Materiales en espa±ol Reviews Advance Praise “Naomi Klein has written a brilliant, brave and terrifying book. It’s nothing less than the secret history of what we call the ‘Free Market.’ It should be compulsory reading.” Arundhati Roy author of The God of Small Things “A revelation! With unparalleled courage and clarity Naomi Klein has written the most important and necessary book of her generation. In it she exposes liars, murderers and thieves, ripping the lid off of Chicago School economic policy and its connection to the chaos and bloodshed around the world. The Shock Doctrine is so important and so revelatory a book that it could very well prove a catalyst, a watershed, a tipping point in the movement for economic and social justice.” Tim Robbins actor/filmmaker “Naomi Klein is an investigative reporter like no other. She roams the continents with eyes wide open and her brain operating at full speed, finding connections we never thought of, and patterns which eluded us. She shows us, in clear and elegant language, how catastrophes natural ones like Katrina, unnatural ones like war become opportunities for a savage capitalism, calling itself “the free market,” to privatize everything in sight, bringing huge profits to some, misery for others. To ensure the safety of such a system, it becomes necessary to constrict freedom, to assault human rights. The torture chambers for some then match the torturing of the larger society. This is a brilliant book, one of the most important I have read in a long time.”

The eloquence, passion, and political insight of Roy's political essays have added legions of readers to those already familiar with her Booker Prize-winning novel. Invited to lecture as part of the prestigious Lannan Foundation series on the first anniversary of the unconscionable attacks of September 11, 2001, Roy challenged those who equate dissent with being "anti-American." Her previous essays on globalization and dissent have led many to see Roy as "India's most impassioned critic of globalization and American influence" ( New York Times War Talk highlights the global rise of religious and racial violence. From the horrific pogroms against Muslims in Gujarat, India, to US demands for war on Iraq, Roy confronts the call to militarism. Desperately working against the backdrop of the nuclear recklessness between her homeland and Pakistan, she calls into question the equation of nation and ethnicity. And throughout her essays, Roy interrogates her own roles as "writer" and "activist."

This is a very nice crowd. [Laughter] Thank you Patrick Lannan for that introduction. I almost recognized myself. [Laughter] I'm here to introduce Arundhati Roy. I say this in hushed tones. Really, I never thought I would introduce Arundhati Roy. I first encountered her - not personally - I encountered her when somebody said to me you must read The God of Small Things, which I did. And then, to almost everybody I met I said, you must read The God of Small Things. [Laughter]. And I was so struck by that book. You know, the passion, the eloquence, the beauty of language. I thought she must have written seven books before this. No. This is her first novel. I thought, well she will write seven books after this. No. This is her novel. Next thing I knew, I was reading essays of hers. David Barsamian showed me an interview which I listened to. An interview he did with her. Anthony Amove told me about her. People talked about her. I read this book of essays called Power Politics and another book of essays

As we lurch from crisis to crisis, beamed directly into our brains by satellite TV, we have to think on our feet. On the move. We enter histories through the rubble of war. Ruined cities, parched fields, shrinking forests, and dying rivers are our archives. Craters left by daisy cutters, our libraries. So what can I offer you tonight? Some uncomfortable thoughts about money, war, empire, racism, and democracy. Some worries that flit around my brain like a family of persistent moths that keep me awake at night.

The sit-in was organised by the Society for the Protection of Detainees' and Prisoners' Rights headed by S A R Geelani, who was aquitted in the case earlier. Roy, who said she is participating in the protest because she is against death penalty, also added, "The whole case is full of faulty evidence and fabricated stories and to hang someone for something he may not have done is not fair." She demanded a Parliamentary inquiry into the case.

Engagements Advts: Classifieds Jobs Obituary Opinion Interviews "There is a fury building up across the country" In this excerpt from a much longer interview, Arundhati Roy updates her essay on the Narmada issue,The Greater Common Good, published in 1999 inFrontline. The interview was done byShoma Chaudhuriover a period of several days, in person and on email. Arundhati Roy: "The fundamental issue is that `a country is not a corporation.' It cannot be run like one. Nothing can justify the violation of the fundamental rights of citizens." The media has been playing the Supreme Court Verdict as a victory for all sides. How do you read it? What does this verdict really mean? Water for Gujarat is obviously an urgent issue. How do we reconcile these polarities? The urgency is a bit of a red herring. Gujarat has managed to irrigate only 10 per cent of the land it could have irrigated and provide only a fraction of the drinking water it could have provided at the current dam height. This is because the canals and delivery systems are not in place. In other words, it has not been able to use the water at even the current dam height. This is an old story with the Narmada dams. In the case of the Sardar Sarovar, raising the dam height immediately is just hubris. It has no practical urgency. If we could go back to the beginning of your involvement, why were you drawn to the Narmada issue? Why has this become such a powerful symbol?

Quite often these days, I find myself being described as a "social activist." Those who agree with my views, call me "courageous." Those who don't, call me all kinds of rude names which I won't repeat. I am not a social activist, neither am I particularly courageous.... So please do not underestimate the trepidation with which I stand here to say what I must say. Writers imagine that they cull stories from the world. I'm beginning to believe that vanity makes them think so. That it's actually the other way around. Stories cull writers from the world. Stories reveal themselves to us. The public narrative, the private narrative - they colonise us. They commission us. They insist on being told. Fiction and non-fiction are only different techniques of storytelling. For reasons I do not fully understand, fiction dances out of me. Non-fiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world I wake up to every morning. The theme of much of what I write, fiction as well as non-fiction, is the relationship between power and powerlessness and the endless, circular conflict they're engaged in. John Berger, that most wonderful writer, once wrote: Never again will a single story be told as though it's the only one. There can never be a single story. There are only ways of seeing. So, when I tell a story, I tell it not as an ideologue who wants to pit one absolutist ideology against another, but as a storyteller who wants to share her way of seeing. Though it might appear otherwise, my writing is not really about nations and histories, it's about power. About the paranoia and ruthlessness of power. About the physics of power. I believe that the accumulation of vast unfettered power by a state or a country, a corporation or an institution - or even an individual, a spouse, friend or sibling - regardless of ideology, results in excesses such as the ones I will recount here.

You said, "It’s that we’re up against an economic system that is suffocating the majority of the people in this world. What are we going to do about it? How are we going to address it?" So I thought that would be a really easy way to begin. What are we going to do about it, and how are we going to address it? We understand a few things. One is that the system of electoral democracy as it stands today is premised on a religious acceptance of the nation state, but the system of corporate globalization is not. The system of corporate globalization is premised on the fact that liquid capital can move through poor countries at an enormous scale, dictating the agendas, dictating economic policy in those countries by insinuating itself into those economies.

(LCCN: Realmedia excerpt: pp. 215-224 MP3 excerpt: pp. 215-224 Arundhati Roy , born in 1959 at Shillong, Meghalaya, is one of the best-known representatives of the contemporary generation of Indian writers who write in English. Roy's maiden novel - The god of small things - was greeted in 1997 by unprecedented attention from critics, pundits and the media alike. The book, set among the Christian Syriac community of the southern state of Kerala, was a very personal account of a tragic love story cutting across the caste, religious and political divides of India, as told through the eyes of twin children. Daring in its theme and innovative in concept and language, the novel had many detractors in India, but won international acclaim and secured the author the prestigious Booker Prize for the best novel by a Commonwealth author. She was the first Indian writer to win that award. In an interview at the time, Roy said she didn't consider herself a writer: she just had to write The god of small things but didn't know whether she had another novel in her.

Work Public Power In The Age Of Empire Arundhati Roy Edition: pb ISBN: Publisher: Seven Stories Release Date: ITEM OVERVIEW In this new essay, Roy brilliantly examines the limits to democracy in the world today. She points to the need for social movements to contest the occupation of Iraq and decries the reduction of "democracy" to elect clones that disallow meaningful alternatives. In this sweeping critique, Roy warns of a co-opting of the public that transforms protest into spectacle, dissent into mere expression, and public power into privately funded bureaucracies. She argues that public power, if it is to exist, must stand by an old course in the face of new and constant threats from State, media, and bureaucracy. If democracy is to be more than a pretense for plunder, justice must be its twin.
