LECTURE: TARIQ ALI ON WAR AND EMPIRE
What differs between old and new empires? Why has war been such a regular
feature of human history? Tariq Ali addresses these questions and ponders
the effects of current military technology on the physical world as well
as changing attitudes toward global politics. Ali is the longstanding
editor of the New Left Review, the author of more than a dozen
books on history and politics, a novelist, and a playwright. Copresented
by the Walker, the University of Minnesota Humanities Institute, the Institute
for Global Studies, and the European Studies Consortium.
