About the Book

Ordinary Person's Guide To Empire is an array of essays which meticulously covers America’s war on terror, the effects of globalization on India, the importance of resistance movements, and other such matters which threaten democracy.

Summary Of The Book:

Ordinary Person's Guide To Empire is a collection of fourteen essays. They had first been delivered as speeches by the author between June 2002 and November 2004.

The essays weave together seemingly unconnected topics, which finally disclose the United States’ disastrous war on terror. The author explains what George Bush administration’s policy of compassionate conservatism during America’s occupation of Iraq really meant. Her writings remind readers that it is the common man who holds the power in a democratic setup. She urges American dock workers to stop loading goods that are meant to be used in wars. She calls out to activists to organize boycotts, and reservists to deny their callbacks. Her essays also tell the citizens of other countries to stop cleaning up America’s mess.

Ordinary Person's Guide To Empire illustrates how the growth of corporate power is a threat to the world. Roy says that India’s globalization, the awful conditions that African Americans is the US still face, and the destruction in Iraq, are all interconnected to each other. She goes on to analyse how resistance movements can bring the power back to the people. The author speaks of such movements in countries like South Africa, India, and America, and examines how governments react to such crusades. This book also explores the role of non-governmental organizations, and focuses on how the media is becoming extremely corporatized. Roy draws correlations between India’s caste and communal politics, America’s poverty draft, and South Africa’s battle with AIDS.

Ordinary Person's Guide To Empire helps readers understand how the New American Empire functions. Roy highlights the military and corporate barriers that slow down peace and prosperity. However, at the same time, she rejoices at the various efforts that are being made at the grassroot level to breathe new life into democracy.

Book Review

‘Though she be but little, she is fierce. Roy is witty and moving, and her passion is focused and mordant. She is a great modern rhetorician, treading the boards of a world stage.’ - The Times

‘Roy is excellent at putting across the rational arguments and web of facts that are necessary to back up her opinions. She has a good command of both the big picture and the small and allows people to speak for themselves, pushing those who are often forgotten into the foreground of the debate.’ - Natasha Walter, Guardian

‘Roy should be required reading.’ - Marie Claire

‘Roy is always passionately intense. Her controversial views on terrorism are single-minded and uncompromising. She compels you to have an opinion on matters she feels are important.’ - Observer

‘Roy is to be congratulated for a real and personally risky political engagement at a time when many Western writers of her celebrity can respond to world events only from a debilitating aesthetic distance.’ - Time Out
