MORT ROSENBLUM
Wednesday, November 14 at 8 p.m.

Journalist Mort Rosenblum has covered political and cultural issues around the globe for over forty years, writing about the recent revolutions in Eastern Europe, the shaping of news, and even the chocolate trade. This evening, he talks about the necessary movement to reclaim democracy (and the media) in an era of corporate colonialism and American fear and apathy, topics also discussed in his new book, Escaping Plato's Cave: How America's Blindness to the Rest of the World Threatens Our Survival (St. Martin's). "Mort Rosenblum has spent his entire working life in the wider world, and Escaping Plato's Cave is the fruit of that vast fieldwork—passionate, timely, and original, it is a book that every American should read." - Paul Theroux.
