Language, Symbols, and the Media

"The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 created a new political landscape and a new era of warfare. Language, Symbols, and the Media offers insights into the impact and influence of 9/11 upon our cultural, social, and political life." "As historians and other analysts work towards greater understanding of the event that triggered our "war on terror," the role and function of language and communications will take on greater urgency. This volume will be of interest to cultural studies specialists, sociologists, journalists, political scientists, and historians, as well as general readers."--BOOK JACKET.
