History and 9/11

Více o knize

Focusing on the historical context of the September 11 attacks, this collection challenges the oversimplified "clash of civilizations" narrative. Contributors explore American nationalism, anti-American sentiment, U.S. foreign policy, and Islamic fundamentalism, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these themes. The volume includes a variety of documents—speeches, articles, and excerpts—that enhance the essays' arguments. Together, they assert that a comprehensive understanding of contemporary issues requires a nuanced appreciation of historical developments, avoiding a binary view of pre- and post-9/11 America.
