What Uncle Sam didn't want you to know: Study of United States foreign
and domestic policy through declassified documents. Topics may
include the motivations and methods of U.S. foreign policy in Latin
America, the Middle East, Indonesia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, as well as
domestic political repression (such as Cointelpro). Lecturers include
Prof. Noam Chomsky and many local academics and activists. Classes
will cover background material, and students will do original research
on declassified documents. There will be weekly discussions and
project presentations by the students, as well as potential
publication of student projects.
Monday-Thursday classes will be lectures and Friday will be discussion
and research progress report back.
So far lecturers include MIT's own Professor Chomsky, and activists
focusing on El Salvador, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Vietnam, US military
bases and operations abroad, FBI attacks on domestic political groups,
etc.
Come and learn where your tax dollars really go!
