Our 24/7 lives are saturated with round-the-clock fear.
Scare-tactic headlines fill our homes and our public spaces. If
it's not the war on terror, it's the new war on the middle class.
Crisis is the new black, as catastrophe after casualty after crash
shape the order of the day. Nothing to Lose But Our Fear delivers a
counter blow to this rampant culture of fear fuelled by the likes
of CNN, Fox and the Daily Mail. Exploring contemporary and
historical manifestations of this controlling force, the
conversations in this collection go beyond just scrutinizing what
constitutes rational versus irrational fear, or identifying ways in
which human fears are manipulated by political players. They reveal
how fear antagonizes and changes our subjectivity and, crucially,
how the political use of fear has been resisted in different times
and places, by different people across the globe.
