商品簡介
This collection of nine essays explores the history, motives and consequences of the US Central Intelligence Agency's presence on US university and college campuses. They consider the interest the CIA had in campus drug-culture, in turning academics not into spies but "intellectual captives," the early infiltration of campuses at the beginning of the Cold War, the CIA in Latin America, the CIA's interest in young children, academic libraries post 9/11, methods of psychological manipulation, and the place of class struggle. Editor, Philip Zwerling (English, U. of Texas, Pan American) contributes two essays for the collection, including how to cultivate a "spy-free campus." The contributors are academics with backgrounds in the humanities, library science, and the psychology of coercion. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
