This book offers an exploration of the comprehensive impact of the
events of September 11, 2001, on every aspect of American culture
and society. On Thanksgiving day after September 11, 2001, comic
strip creators directed readers to donate money in their artwork,
generating $50,000 in relief funds. The world's largest radio
network, Clear Channel, sent a memo to all of its affiliated
stations recommending 150 songs that should be eliminated from
airplay because of assumptions that their lyrics would be perceived
as offensive in light of the events of 9/11. On the first
anniversary of September 11th, choirs around the world performed
Mozart's Requiem at 8:46 am in each time zone, the time of the
first attack on the World Trade Center. These examples are just
three of the ways the world—but especially the United
States—responded to the events of September 11, 2001. Each
chapter in this book contains a chronological overview of the sea
of changes in everyday life, literature, entertainment, news and
media, and visual culture after September 11. Shorter essays focus
on specific books, TV shows, songs, and films.
