Editor Cilano (Postcolonial Literature, University of North Carolina Wilmington) has assembled essays dealing with the effects of 9/11 on the fiction and cinema in places outside the U.S., such
as Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Pakistan, Canada, Israel, and Iran. Examining the cultural shifts taking place since the 9/11 attacks, this collection is a counterweight to U.S.-centric
cultural and critical production addressing 9/11, and demonstrates how 9/11 was "global" without succumbing to neat categorizations, such as "us vs. them," "East vs. West," "Christianity vs.
Islam," and so on. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of contemporary history and international politics, especially for those dealing with 9/11 or terrorism. Annotation
