Book Description

New York Picador 1998 Paperback Later printing NEW 358pp. 21 cm. Red wrappers with yellow backstrip. Translated by Mark Fried. With engravings by José Guadalupe Posada. Includes bibliographical references and an index. "In a series of mock lesson plans, the author of the incomparable Memory of Fire trilogy provides an eloquent, passionate, funny and shocking exposé of our first-world priveleges and assumptions. From a master class in 'The Impunity of Power' to a seminar on 'The Sacred Car'-- with tips along the way on 'How to Resist Useless Vices' and a declaration of 'The Right to Rave'-- he guides us through a world unevenly divided between abundance and deprivation, power and helplessness."
