The No-nonsense Guide to TerrorismNew Internationalist Publications, 2003 - 144 páginas Terrorism is a word that is thrown around very loosely by all sorts of people, often by the biggest terrorists of all. But what is its history as a concept and how can we make sense of all the competing meanings? Who stands to gain when the word is used? Barker challenges common misconceptions about terrorism and illustrates the ways in which both terrorism and counter-terrorism undermine popular politics and democratic space. |
