Produktbeschreibung
This book explores the geographies of Islamist terrorism (particularly, in the post 9/11 era), using carefully selected literary works as a vehicle for social critique. This innovative approach to terrorism research helps to transcend the constraints faced by terrorism researchers (especially, academics) due to the unavailability of sensitive data or the so-called 'classified information'. It equally brings to terrorism research, and to this study (in particular), what may be described as 'border-crossing', resulting in a multiplicity of perspectives, and consequently, facilitates the rethinking of counterterrorism from the standpoint of inconsistent multiplicity. This book thus comprises eight chapters, which are thematised in a way that they investigate the multifaceted layers of contemporary terrorism with specific emphasis on the social processes that produce radicalism and terrorism and the various ways in which terrorism and military counterterrorism are shaped not only by values but by the politics of terrorism.
