"The War on Terror and American Popular Culture" is a collection of original essays by academics and researchers from around the world that examines the complex interrelation between the Bush administration's 'War on Terror' and American popular culture. Written by experts in the fields of literature, film, and cultural studies, this book examines in detail how popular culture reflects concerns and anxieties about the September 11 attacks and the war those attacks generated, how it interrogates the individual and collective impacts that war has wrought, how it might challenge or critique current policy, and how it might reinforce or endorse the war and its socio political paradigms.
