<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the United States today, the term terrorism conjures up images of dangerous, outside threats: religious extremists and suicide bombers in particular. Harder to see but all the more pervasive is the terrorism perpetuated by the United States itself, whether through military force overseas or woven into the very fabric of society at home. Henry Giroux, in this passionate and incisive book, turns the conventional wisdom on terrorism upside down, demonstrating how fear and lawlessness have become organizing principles of life in the United States, and violence an acceptable form of social mediation. He addresses the most pressing issues of the moment, from officially sanctioned torture to militarized police forces to austerity politics. Giroux also examines the ongoing degradation of the education system and how young people in particular suffer its more nefarious outcomes. Against this grim picture, Giroux posits a politics of hope and a commitment to accurate-and radical-historical memory. He draws on a long, distinguished career developing the tenets of critical pedagogy to propose a cure for our addiction to terrorism: a kind of public pedagogy that challenges the poisoned narratives of America's dis-imagination machine.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Henry A. Giroux</strong> is a social critic and educator. He currently holds the Global Television Network Chair in Communication Studies at McMaster University, Ontario.
