On the Absence of References to Noam Chomsky in Introductory International Studies Textbooks*", journal = "New Political Science", volume = "28", year = "Number 1/March 2006", abstract = "In the late twentieth century, Noam Chomsky—a linguist, media critic, and social activist working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)—was ranked among the top ten entities of all time in terms of citations. Yet Chomsky's vast corpus of work on American foreign policy and broader international topics has been almost totally ignored if we use as our measure a survey of citations in introductory international studies textbooks. This paper presents the results of this exploratory content analysis exercise, suggests possible reasons for this omission, and considers the implications of this observation of absence for the way we are defining our field and teaching our students.", pages = "65-79(15)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/cnps/2006/00000028/00000001/art00004" doi = "doi:10.1080/07393140500518257" }
