[Peace-discuss] [Mediamatters] Weekly Update for February 17, 2008 -- Naomi Wolf

Sat Feb 16 15:15:26 CST 2008

In case you don't receive these posts... This should be a good show. Naomi Wolf has outlined the steps necessary for a society to move from a democracy to a dictatorship and draws parallels betw what happened in e g Nazi Germany and what is happening under the Bush Admin (primarily) today. Before you brush it off as over the top, listen to what she has to say. Chilling.

  And in case you don't read emails all the way to the end... all Bob's past shows are available at http://www.will.illinois.edu/am/mediamatters/ , including the one two weeks ago w/ Stephen Kinzer, who will be at Latzer Hall (campus YMCA) tomorrow (Sun, 2/17) at 3p.

Welcome to another edition of the WILL-AM Media Matters email update!

THIS WEEK'S GUEST
-------------------------------
This week our guest is Naomi Wolf, the noted feminist and author. 
"The Beauty Myth," her first book, was an international bestseller. 
She followed that with "Fire With Fire: The New Female Power and How 
It Will Change The 21st Century" and "Promiscuities: The Secret 
Struggle for Womanhood." Several other books followed.

Her most recent book is "The End of America: Letter of Warning to a 
Young Patriot" in which she explains how events of the last six years 
parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th century’s worst 
dictatorships such as Germany, Russia, China, and Chile.

She is co-founder of The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership, 
an organization devoted to training young women in ethical leadership 
for the 21st century. The institute teaches professional development 
in the arts and media, politics and law, business and 
entrepreneurship as well as ethical decision making.
