History and 9/11

More about the book

Focusing on the historical context of the September 11 attacks, this collection of essays challenges the oversimplified "clash of civilizations" narrative. Contributors analyze American nationalism, anti-Americanism, U.S. foreign policy, and Islamic fundamentalism, emphasizing the importance of understanding America's national identity in a global context. The volume includes a variety of documents—speeches, articles, and excerpts—that enrich the discussion. Together, these works highlight the necessity of viewing history as a continuum rather than a divided timeline.
