Fear is a powerful emotion and a formidable spur to action, a
source of worry and - when it is manipulated - a source of
injustice. Manufacturing Phobias demonstrates how economic and
political elites mobilize fears of terrorism, crime, migration,
invasion, and infection to twist political and social policy and
advance their own agendas. The contributors to the collection,
experts in criminology, law, sociology, and politics, explain how
and why social phobias are created by pundits, politicians, and the
media, and how they target the most vulnerable in our society.
Emphasizing how social phobias reflect the interests of those with
political, economic, and cultural power, this work challenges the
idea that society's anxieties are merely expressions of individual
psychology. Manufacturing Phobias will be a clarion call for anyone
concerned about the disturbing consequences of our culture of fear.
