Written in the context of critical dialogues about the war on
terror and the global crisis in human rights violations, authors of
the collected volume Representing Humanity in an Age of Terror -
edited by Sophia A. McClennen and Henry James Morello - ask a
series of questions: What definitions of humanity account for the
persistence of human rights violations? How do we define terror,
and how do we understand the ways that terror affects the
representation of those that both suffer and profit from it? Why is
it that the representation of terror often depends on a distorted
(for example, racist, fascist, xenophobic, essentialist, and
eliminationist) representation of human beings? And, most
importantly, can representation, especially forms of art, rescue
humanity from the forces of terror, or does it run the risk of
making it possible? The authors of the volume's articles discuss
aspects of terror with regard to human rights events across the
globe, but especially in the United States, Latin America, and
Europe. Their discussion and reflection demonstrate that the need
to question continuously and to engage in permanent critique does
not contradict the need to seek answers, to advocate social change,
and to intervene critically.
