Religion and the Domestication of Dissent

Or, How to Live in a Less Than Perfect Nation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This essay considers a variety of discursive sites, from contemporary film and art to the War on Terror to ask the reader to consider how the classifications we use to name and thereby negotiate our social worlds are implicitly political and are being wielded in the public arena to carry out generally undisclosed/under analysed social work.
