<p>Derrick Jensen takes no prisoners in <em>The Culture of Make Believe</em>, his brilliant and eagerly awaited follow-up to his powerful and lyrical <em>A Language Older Than Words</em>. What begins as an exploration of the lines of thought and experience that run between the massive lynchings in early twentieth-century America to today's death squads in South America soon explodes into an examination of the very heart of our civilization. <em>The Culture of Make Believe</em> is a book that is as impeccably researched as it is moving, with conclusions as far-reaching as they are shocking.</p>
