This work examines violence in the age of the terror wars with an
eye toward the technologies of governance that create, facilitate,
and circulate that violence. In performing a rhetorical cartography
that explores the rise of the US armed drone program as well as
moments of resistive violence that occurred during the Arab Spring
directed at generating a counter-hegemony by Muslim populations,
the author argues that the problem of the global terror wars is
best addressed by a rhetorical understanding of the ways that
governments, as well as individual subjects, turn to violence as a
response to, or product of, the post September 11th terror society.
When political examinations of terrorism are facilitated through
understandings of discourse, clearer maps emerge of how violence
functions to offer mechanisms by which governing bodies, and their
subjects, evaluate the success or failure of the "War on Terror."
This book will be of interest to public policymakers and informed
general readers as well as students and scholars in the fields of
rhetoric, political theory, critical geography, US foreign
relations/policy, war and peace studies, and cultural studies.
