Amid a global zeitgeist of impending catastrophe, this book
explores the culture of fear so prevalent in today's politics,
economic climate, and religious extremism. The authors of this
collection argue that the lens of catastrophe through which so many
of today's issues are examined distorts understanding of the
dynamics at the heart of numerous problems, such as global warming,
ultimately halting progress and transformation. Arguing that
catastrophic thinking results in paralysis or reactionary politics,
the authors posit that the myths of 2012 have negative affects
across the political spectrum and urge activists not to give up
their beliefs and instead focus on working on issues now instead of
waiting until society has ended and needs to be rebuilt.
