Chomsky referenced the forthcoming book in a September 1992 article[2] and gave the fourth Raymond Williams Memorial Lecture lecture in London in November 1992 on the topic "Year 501".[3] First published in English (1993), translated into Spanish (1993)[4], German (1993) [5], Portuguese (1993)[6], Greek (1994)[7], Italian (1994)[8], French (1995), Arabic (1996) [9], Serbian (1998)[10], Polish (1999)[11], Korean (2007)[12].

Reviews

Year 501 received reviews in a number of publications in English (Monthly Review Press [15], Kirkus Reviews[16], International Journal of Cultural Property [17], Race and Class [18]), in Polish (Przegląd Tygodniowy[19], Rzeczpospolita [20]), in French (Philosophie Magazine [21] , Le Monde diplomatique[22]), in Korean (The Daedong Historical Journal[23]).

David Armitage writes in the International Journal of Cultural Property that "many of Chomsky's arguments become as monocausal and hence undeniable as the ideological strains which he is attacking" and that the book "ultimately fails as a polemic because it presents no conception of how a neo-liberal world order might be overturned, how the benefits of a global economy might be maximised for the good of all, nor how an imperial self-interest seemingly as old as political communities themselves could ever be abandoned."[17]

Howard Zinn writes that "Year 501 is another awesome achievement by Noam Chomsky. It is a devastating array of information about the U.S. role in the world, placed in the long historical perspective of the 500 years that followed the voyages of Columbus. The result is a wonderful single-volume education in history and world politics."[24]
