Yet the enduring vocabulary of \u003cstrong\u003eradical\u003c\/strong\u003e movement-building can be equally opaque when filtered through both the distortions of the status quo and the partisan interests of the activist left.

Leary takes a wit-sharpened scalpel to the evasions, neologisms, and half-truths that crowd 'the discourse' and reveals the \u003cstrong\u003eideology\u003c\/strong\u003e of the mainstream political media that lies just below the surface. In the process he also carefully leads readers through the very real debates about the words that really \u003cem\u003edo\u003c\/em\u003e mean something, attentively distinguishing the substance worth preserving from the froth that should be dismissed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This masterful dressing down of corporate media jargon is accompanied by over thirty illustrations that amplify and augment Leary's searing words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Patrick Leary\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003eKeywords: The New Language of Capitalism \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eA Cultural History of Underdevelopment: Latin America in the US Imagination\u003c\/em\u003e.
