Reviews / Votes
"Original and innovative." -- David McNab, author of No Place for Fairness & Walking a Tightrope "Captivatingly written, highly accessible, and engaging. This book makes a major contribution to scholarship on 9/11 by drawing parallels between these events and America's role in previous conflicts. More so, it illuminates the connection between a legacy of racist images of Indigenous peoples in American popular culture and the use of related imagery to justify American imperialistic intervention. -- Matthew Tegelberg, Assistant Professor, York UniversityMore details
