Selected by Newsweek as one of “14 nonfiction books you’ll want to read this fall” Fifty years after it first appeared, one of Noam Chomsky’s greatest essays will be published for the first time as a timely stand-alone book, with a new preface by the author As a nineteen-year-old undergraduate in 1947, Noam Chomsky was deeply affected by articles about the responsibility of intellectuals written by Dwight Macdonald, an editor of Partisan Review and then of Politics. Twenty years later, as the Vietnam War was escalating, Chomsky turned to the question himself, noting that "intellectuals are in a position to expose the lies of governments" and to analyze their "often hidden intentions." Originally published in the New York Review of Books, Chomsky's essay eviscerated the "hypocritical moralism of the past" (such as when Woodrow Wilson set out to teach Latin Americans "the art of good government") and exposed the shameful policies in Vietnam and the role of intellectuals in justifying it. Also included in this volume is the brilliant "The Responsibility of Intellectuals Redux," written on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, which makes the case for using privilege to challenge the state. As relevant now as it was in 1967, The Responsibility of Intellectuals reminds us that "privilege yields opportunity and opportunity confers responsibilities." All of us have choices, even in desperate times.

Citizenship Citizenship is the legal status granted to individuals by a nation-state, entitling them to certain rights, privileges, and responsibilities within that state. It encompasses both legal and political dimensions, reflecting the relationship between individuals and the state to which they belong. Here are some key aspects of citizenship: Legal Status: Citizenship confers legal recognition of an individual's membership in a particular country. It grants them the right to live and work in the country, access public services, and receive protection under the law. Citizenship may be acquired through birth, descent, naturalization, or other legal processes defined by the state. Rights and Privileges: Citizenship entails a range of rights and privileges that are typically guaranteed by law and protected by the government. These rights may include political rights such as the right to vote and stand for public office, civil liberties such as freedom of speech and assembly, social and economic rights such as access to education and healthcare, and legal rights such as due process and equal protection under the law. Responsibilities and Duties: Citizenship also entails certain responsibilities and duties towards the state and fellow citizens. These may include obeying the law, paying taxes, serving on juries, defending the country if required, and participating in the democratic process through voting and civic engagement. Citizenship implies a commitment to the well-being and common good of the society to which one belongs. Identity and Belonging: Citizenship often plays a significant role in shaping individuals' sense of identity and belonging. It reflects their connection to a particular community, culture, and nation, and may influence their values, beliefs, and loyalties. Citizenship can be a source of pride and solidarity, fostering a sense of shared identity and collective belonging among citizens. Global Citizenship: While citizenship is traditionally tied to the nation-state, the concept of global citizenship emphasizes the idea of belonging to a broader global community. Global citizenship entails recognizing and respecting the interconnectedness of humanity, advocating for human rights and social justice on a global scale, and promoting cooperation and solidarity across borders to address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. Overall, citizenship is a complex and multifaceted concept that reflects the rights, responsibilities, and identities of individuals within the context of the nation-state and the wider world. It is central to the functioning of democratic societies and the promotion of social cohesion, inclusion, and human rights.
