Henry A. Giroux holds the Global TV Network Chair in English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University in Canada.<p>“Hearts of Darkness is an unforgettable journey into the cruel and hard oversoul of America—a nation which tacitly sanctions governmental torture of children and eagerly devours increasing amounts of media violence. Giroux’s moral courage and compassion serves as a model of contemporary committed criticism, and a call to action for those stuck in the fog of national amnesia regarding the horrific acts done in the name of democracy. This book is required reading for anyone who cares about the future of America.” <br />–Jeffrey R. Di Leo, University of Huston - Victoria <br /><br />“Giroux is one of our most acute social critics, and in Hearts of Darkness, he asks how American culture grew so callous and debased during the Bush years, why it became increasingly toxic for children, and more uncomfortably, why so much remains unchanged on Obama’s watch. This is a very thoughtful book.” <br />–Elliott Gorn, Departments of History and American Civilization, Brown University</p>
