A revelatory and wide-ranging series of interviews with
award-winning writer Arundhati Roy, touching on US empire, Indian
nationalism, a writer’s work, and more.
As a novelist,
Arundhati Roy is known for her lush language and intricate structure.
As a political essayist, her prose is searching and fierce. All of
these qualities shine through in the interviews collected here by
David Barsamian.
This newly reissued
and expanded edition, featuring interviews from 2001 to 2022 and a
moving foreword by Naomi Klein, explores Roy’s evolving political
thought and commitments across the tumultuous twenty-first entry.
The Architecture
of Modern Empire is a searing reckoning with the mechanics of
power, in all its forms, and the role of imagination and creative
expression in envisioning a radically different world.
