Terror and Performance

More about the book

Rustom Bharucha presents a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between terror and performance, challenging conventional views that equate 'terror' solely with 'terrorism.' The work offers alternative narratives and epistemologies, examining a wide range of human atrocities, including war, genocide, and ethnic violence in regions such as India, the Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa, and Palestine. Through this lens, the book highlights the nuanced and often overlooked dimensions of terror in the global South.
