The No-Nonsense Guide to Terrorism |
| Since the events of September 11, 2001, the propaganda
uses of the word "terrorism: have multiplied, and it has never been clearer
that one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. This
No-Nonsense Guide looks at debates about September 11 and responses to
it, but also tries to get behind the causes and contexts of both group
terrorism and state terrorism. Jonathan Barker provides a historical sketch as well as current examples from the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and Asia. He guides readers through the moral and political theories and highlights the battle of images and ideas that accompanies them. Analyzing the dynamics of terrorism, Barker scrutinizes the war on terror and its fateful consequences for democracy. |
