Reviews
Providing an incisive and illuminating cultural and ideological analysis of dominant forms of media, culture and representation from the September 11, 2001 terror attacks through the 2006 Congressional elections, 9/11 and the War on Terror engages theoretical discourses and analyses of the event, media representation, including a chapter on cinema, and how 9/11 played out in literature and photography and visual art. The result is an excellent cultural history of our epoch full of original insight and interpretation. -- Professor Douglas Kellner, UCLA As the terror attacks on the United States become history as well as politics, there is now an opportunity for greater critical thinking on the representation of the event. In this timely and engaging book, David Holloway provides an impressive synchronic account of the meaning and importance of 9/11. It deserves to be widely read by scholars and postgraduates occupying positions in diverse disciplinary locations. -- Tim Dunne, Professor of International Relations, University of Exeter Providing an incisive and illuminating cultural and ideological analysis of dominant forms of media, culture and representation from the September 11, 2001 terror attacks through the 2006 Congressional elections, 9/11 and the War on Terror engages theoretical discourses and analyses of the event, media representation, including a chapter on cinema, and how 9/11 played out in literature and photography and visual art.
