Susan Faludi The Terror Dream Fear and Fantasy in Post 9 1
From the Pulitzer Prize�winning journalist and bestselling author of Backlash�an unflinching dissection of the mind of America after 9/11. In this most original examination of America�s post-9/11 culture, Susan Faludi shines a light on the country�s psychological response to the attacks on that terrible day. Turning her acute 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 our culture respond to an assault against American global dominance with a frenzied summons to restore �traditional� manhood, marriage, and maternity? Why did we react as if the hijackers had targeted not a commercial and military edifice but the family home and nursery? Why did an attack fueled by hatred of Western emancipation lead us to a regressive fixation on Doris Day womanhood and John Wayne masculinity, with trembling �security moms,� swaggering presidential gunslingers, and the �rescue� of a female soldier cast as a �helpless little girl�?
The answer, Faludi finds, lies in a historical anomaly unique to the American experience: the nation that in recent memory has been least vulnerable to domestic attack was forged in traumatizing assaults by nonwhite �barbarians� on town and village. That humiliation lies concealed under a myth of cowboy bluster and feminine frailty, which is reanimated whenever threat and shame looms.
