The Terror Dream
with Susan Faludi,Lakshmi Chaudhry, and Nora Barrows-Friedman
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Susan Faludi, the author of /Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women/ and /Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man,/ is also the winner of a National Book Critics' Circle Award for Nonfiction.
"Susan Faludi, as always, is simply stunning. With heroic acuity, she digs through the mythological debris of the Bush era to recover the dark fairytale - shades of white savagery on the early frontier - that underlies the vengeance fantasy we call the 'war on terrorism.'" - Mike Davis
"The book is absolutely riveting, and is a refreshing, in-depth look at the ways in which the US' culture of aggression (especially after 9-11) continues to weave itself into the fabric of the definitions of feminism and masculinity -- and the underlying roles of the villains, the victims and the superheroes in the context of unraveling war, domination, 'terrorism' and violence." - Nora Barrows-Friedman
