Courageously stepping into charged terrain, this book casts a clear
light on globalization and terrorism for what they are, not what
some may wish them to be. Jamal R. Nassar carefully defines these
twin concepts, placing them in historical as well as political
context. Woven throughout the book is his central theme of the
migration of dreams and nightmares. As some are able to take
advantage of the opportunities of globalization, leaving others
behind, they leave behind a legacy of unrealistic dreams. These
unfulfilled hopes of the poor and oppressed often transform
themselves into nightmares for the wealthy and powerful. This
vicious cycle, the author argues, is often enhanced by
globalization and effected by terrorism. Focusing on the key case
studies of Palestine and Northern Ireland, Nassar applies their
lessons to other examples of conflict including Iraq, Afghanistan,
the Congo, Chechnya, and Colombia in order to internationalize our
understanding of how globalization and terrorism operate in a range
of situations. He also devotes a chapter to Islamist terrorism in a
tour de force of incisiveness and balance. This book considers
globalization and terrorism not only from the perspective of the
major powers, but also introduces the views of those dominated by
forces beyond their control. Yet even as the author offers a
profound critique of Western hegemony, he conveys respect and hope
for an enlightened global interdependence embracing the power of
the dream over the nightmare."
