An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire by Arundhati Roy

$12.00

In this selection of five essays Arundhati Roy masterfully draws the thread of empire through ostensibly disconnected arenas, highlighting the parallels between the poverty draft in the United States, caste politics in India, AIDS in South Africa, reconstruction contracts in Iraq, and the perverse machinery of mass media worldwide.

"Big events seen from the keyhole of daily life. Arundhati Roy has an exceptional talent to turn facts, names, and even numbers into flesh and land. A book to be read? A breathing to be felt." —Eduardo Galeano

Paperback, 156pp, index, notes, glossary
