But the significance of events is always determined by the social, political, and cultural forces that are articulated through a particular event. The attack of 9\/11 was an event waiting to happen, and when it did occur the even itself became a catalyst and impetus for the changing and redirection of global realities. This volume offers provocative assessments of the reaction to the event from a variety of perspectives that will no doubt stimulate the debate on the meaning and consequences of 9\/11.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e The World Trade Center and Global Crisis: Some Critical Perspectives\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBruce Kapferer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e An Empire of a Certain Kind\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMarshall Sahlins\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e September 11th and After\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eKeith Hart\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eFrom Nine-Eleven to Seven-Eleven: The Poverty of Interpretation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJonathan Friedman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eGround Zero Point One: On the Cinematics of History\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAllen Feldman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Humanitarianism, Terror and the Transnational Border\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMichael Humphrey\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Arab Americans and the Criminalization of Dissent\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eIbrahim Aoude\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e \"My Son is a Fanatic\" or How to Have Things Both Ways in a Heritage Debate\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMichael Rowlands\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Just Wars, Civilisation and Empire in Postmodernity: Perspectives from South of the Rio Grande\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJohn Gledhill\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeptember 11 and October 7: From Human Tragedy to Power Politics\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eLeif Manger\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe New Leviathan and the Crisis of Criticism in the Social Sciences\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBruce Kapferer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tNotes on Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515988644183,"sku":"9781845450007","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845450007.jpg?v=1745428425","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-world-trade-center-and-global-crisis-some-critical-perspectives-9781845450007","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
