The terror attacks of 9.11 signalled that people are increasingly
put at risk of not only terrorism but natural and technological
disasters as well. Since 9.11 scholars have been asking new
questions about catastrophe and made important and interesting
innovations in methods, concepts, and theories regarding disaster
and terror. This volume brings together a creative set of papers,
most of which are about the 9.11 attacks. They draw from several
disciplines to address key questions: what lessons does the
response to the collapse of the World Trade Center have for
disaster planning? what has 9.11 meant for civil liberties in the
US? how will survivors react over the long run? and how do we
conceptualize panic and mass response?
