Representing 9/11 : Trauma, Ideology, and Nationalism in Literature, Film, and Television

This diverse collection of essays analyzes popular culture texts—including novel, films, and television shows—that demonstrate a variety of attitudes in the wake of the September 11 , 2001 attacks. The works reflect not just the early nationalist attitudes under President George W. Bush’s administration, but records new ambivalences that are exhibited in contemporary literature and media. Committed to deepening the representation of post-9/11 texts and featuring disparate perspectives, this collection of essays situates the significance of where post-9/11 literature and media is today.
