About this product
Product Information
In this most original examination of America's post-9/11 culture, Susan Faludi shines a light on the country's psychological response to the attacks on that terrible day. Turning her observational powers on the media, popular culture, and political life, Faludi unearths a barely acknowledged but bedrock societal drama shot through with baffling contradictions. Why, she asks, did our culture respond to an assault against American global dominance with a frenzied summons to restore "traditional" manhood, marriage, and maternity? Why did we react as if the hijackers had targeted not a commercial and military edifice but the family home and nursery? Why did an attack fueled by hatred of Western emancipation lead us to a regressive fixation on Doris Day womanhood and John Wayne masculinity, with trembling "security moms," swaggering presidential gun-slingers, and the "rescue" of a female soldier cast as a "helpless little girl"? The answer, Faludi finds, lies in a historical anomaly unique to the American experience: the nation that in recent memory has been least vulnerable to domestic attack was forged in traumatizing assaults by non-white "barbarians" on town and village. That humiliation lies concealed under a myth of cowboy bluster and feminine frailty, which is reanimated whenever threat and shame looms - as they did on September 11. Brilliant and important, The Terror Dream shows what 9/11 revealed about us - and offers the opportunity to look at ourselves anew.

Praise for Susan Faludi: "Susan Faludi is a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, and it shows. Backlash ...is punchy, well-written, well researched, convincing, thought-provoking and, in parts, very funny."-- The Guardian on Backlash "Faludi uses her dazzling investigative powers to zap the smug detractors of feminism, the hypocrites, backsliders, and antifeminists. The result is a rich and juicy read, informed by powerful logic and moral clarity."--Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed on Backlash "Faludi's prose is as strong and smooth as well-sanded hardwood, and she's got a jeweler's eye for the telling detail." -- Chicago Sun Times on Stiffed "Susan Faludi's Backlash [was] in my view the most important book on women in recent decades....Stiffed is even better than Backlash ...It is a significant and serious work...every page counts ."-- New York Review of Books on Stiffed, Praise for Susan Faludi: " Susan Faludi is a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, and it shows.
