Title
The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post9/11 America
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist and bestselling author of Backlashan unflinching dissection of the mind of America after 9/11 In this most original examination of America s post9/11 culture, Susan Faludi shines a light on the country s psychological response to the attacks on that terrible day. Turning her acute observational powers on the media, popular culture, and political life, Faludi unearths a barely acknowledged but bedrock societal drama shot through with baffling contradictions. Why, she asks, did our culture respond to an assault against American global dominance with a frenzied summons to restore traditional manhood, marriage, and maternity? Why did we react as if the hijackers had targeted not a commercial and military edifice but the family home and nursery? Why did an attack fueled by hatred of Western emancipation lead us to a regressive fixation on Doris Day womanhood and John Wayne masculinity, with trembling security moms, swaggering presidential gunslingers, and the rescue of a female soldier cast as a helpless little girl ?The answer, Faludi finds, lies in a historical anomaly unique to the American experience: the nation that in recent memory has been least vulnerable to domestic attack was forged in traumatizing assaults by nonwhite barbarians on town and village. That humiliation lies concealed under a myth of cowboy bluster and feminine frailty, which is reanimated whenever threat and shame looms.Brilliant and important, The Terror Dream shows what 9/11 revealed about usand offers the opportunity to look at ourselves anew.
