Book Synopsis Thinking Past Terror by : Susan Buck-Morss

Download or read book Thinking Past Terror written by Susan Buck-Morss and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned critical theorist Susan Buck-Morss argues convincingly that a global public needs to think past the twin insanities of terrorism and counter-terrorism in order to dismantle regressive intellectual barriers. Surveying the widespread literature on the relationship of Islam to modernity, she reveals that there is surprising overlap where scholars commonly and simplistically see antithesis. Thinking Past Terror situates this engagement with the study of Islam among critical contemporary discourses-feminism, post-colonialism and the critique of determinism. In a new preface to this paperback edition, Susan Buck-Morss reflects on the events that have marked the world since the book was first published.
