You are bidding on this NEW Hardcover, The Terror Dream, Fear and Fantasy in Post 9-11 America, by Susan Faludi. It has a copyright date of 2007, and is a hardcover book with jacket. It is a first edition. It is in excellent condition, and other than my thumbing through it, it has never been read.
In this most original examination of post 9/11 America, Susan Faludi shines a light on the country's psychological response to the attacks of that terrible day. Turning her laser-sharp observational powers on the media, popular culture, and political life, Faludi unearths a barely acknowledged but bedrock societal drama shot through with baffling contradictions. Why, she asks, did an assault on American global dominance provoke an almost hysterical summons to restore "traditional" manhood, marriage, and maternity? Why did our media react as if the hijackers had targeted not commercial and military edifices but the family home and nursery? Why did an attack fueled by hatred of western emancipation lead to a regressive fixation on Doris Day womanhood and John Wayne masculinity, with trembling-lipped "security moms," swaggering presidential gunslingers, and the "rescue" of a female soldier compulsively recast as a "helpless little girl"?...
