9/11 and the War on Terror

This interdisciplinary study of how 9/11 and the ?war on terror? were represented during the Bush era, shows how culture often functioned as a vital resource, for citizens attempting to make sense of momentous historical events that frequently seemed beyond their influence or control. Illustrated throughout, the book discusses representation of 9/11 and the war on terror in Hollywood film, the 9/11 novel, mass media, visual art and photography, political discourse, and revisionist historical accounts of American ?empire,? between the September 11 attacks and the Congressional midterm elections.
