DESCRIPTION:Robert Jensen is a Professor of Journalism at the University of Texas and 
 the author of _Writing Dissent_ and _Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle 
 to Claim Our Humanity_.  His critiques of U.S. militarism and 
 empire-building – and the media structures that support them at home – 
 have made him one of the most controversial figures in academia today.  His 
 new book explores the consequences of being citizens of a superpower that 
 seeks worldwide military and economic dominance and asks “Do we have the 
 courage to stop being Americans and be human beings?  Do we care enough 
 about ourselves and the world to struggle to claim our humanity?  The rest 
 of the world is waiting for our answer.”  Says media activist Norman 
 Solomon, “Jensen makes a powerful case that we can stop being passive 
 spectators and start being active co-creators of history.  _Citizens of the 
 Empire_ is a book of realism and hope – a strong antidote to the poisons 
 of conformity and despair.”  $10 - $20 suggested donation benefits
