Description
Wars of Terror by Gabriele Marranci examines the role of rhetoric and ideology in the conflict following 9/11. The author argues that we are witnessing a clash among 'civilizers' who believe they can define how to be human, rather than a clash of civilizations. Marranci explores why some individuals become radicalized to take violent action, comparing cases from his own fieldwork and research in Western countries and South and Southeast Asia. He shows that emotions such as indignation and sense of injustice play a significant role in underpinning violent acts, as do the views presented by opposing sides. This book provides a fascinating anthropological study of the ongoing global conflict, highlighting the impact of labels, stigma, conspiracy theories, and stereotypes on maintaining this conflict.
