Cultures of the War on Terror: Empire, Ideology, and the Remaking of 9/11

Focusing on the cultural and ideological landscape following 9/11, the book examines how various forms of media—including film, literature, and visual art—reflected and shaped public discourse surrounding the war on terror. It argues that this cultural output not only highlighted international security crises but also revealed deeper issues within US democracy. By analyzing the period's representations, the work illustrates how culture served as a battleground for debates over the implications and narratives surrounding the attacks and subsequent military actions.
