ABOUT THE BOOK:

One of two finalists for the 2003 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize. This brilliant bestselling title offers a critical examination of the very idea of “civilization.”


PRAISE:

“Derrick Jensen tears our illusions from us with his shocking yet graceful prose. It might numb us, but no. The Culture of Make Believe is a masterpiece. It stirs us with the excitement of being in a truer world, being our truer selves. Derrick Jensen is a public intellectual who both breaks and mends the reader’s heart.

– Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet
