D. Michael Rivage-Seul's eye-opening new book, The Magic Glasses of Critical Thinking: Seeing Through Alternative Fact & Fake News, invites readers to try out what Baba Dick Gregory calls the "magic glasses" of critical thinking. Gregory's eyewear suggests ten rules for seeing through the haze created by any culture's ruling group mind. The criteria urge students to: (1) reflect systemically, (2) select market (as an organizing principle), (3) reject neutrality, (4) suspect ideology, (5) respect history, (6) inspect scientifically, (7) quadra-sect violence, (8) connect with your deepest self, (9) collect conclusions, and (10) detect silences. The Magic Glasses of Critical Thinking then applies those criteria to a broader contemporary context where fascist tendencies reminiscent of the 1930s are unmistakable. Surprising interpretations of familiar Hollywood and documentary films illustrate every point, making this book a fascinating text and discussion starter for critical thinking and composition courses at the secondary and post-secondary levels.

"[This book is] a compelling story of D. Michael Rivage-Seul's journey in critical thinking as he learns to view the world through the vantage point of the Global South. This creative approach to learning critical thinking recognizes that it is more than learning the rules of logical reasoning. Rather, it is a frame of mind that interrogates reality and the cultural ideas through which we interpret it. Critical thinking challenges us to consciously adopt an interpretive framework based on our stage of personal development and social commitments. Influenced by liberation theology and practicing Paulo Freire's pedagogy of the oppressed, Rivage-Seul is conscientized with the glasses of the Global South. His readers will come away with their eyes opened as well, or at least be left very uncomfortable." -Cliff DuRand, Center for Global Justice, Editor of Recreating Democracy in a Globalized State and Moving Beyond Capitalism
