This edited collection aims to respond to dominant perspectives on
twenty-first-century war by exploring how the events of 9/11 and
the subsequent Wars on Terror are represented and remembered
outside of the US framework. Existing critical coverage ignores the
meaning of these events for people, nations and cultures apparently
peripheral to them but which have - as shown in this collection -
been extraordinarily affected by the social, political and cultural
changes these wars have wrought. Adopting a literary and cultural
history approach, the book asks how these events resonate and
continue to show effects in the rest of the world, with a
particular focus on Australia and Britain. It argues that such
reflections on the impact of the Wars on Terror help us to
understand what global conflict means in a contemporary context, as
well as what its representative motifs might tell us about how
nations like Australia and Britain perceive and construct their
remembered identities on the world stage in the twenty-first
century. In its close examination of films, novels, memoir, visual
artworks, media, and minority communities in the years since 2001,
this collection looks at the global impacts of these events, and
the ways they have shaped, and continue to shape, Britain and
Australia's relation to the rest of the world.
