Hospitality in a Time of Terror - Strangers at the Gate

Strangers at the Gate promises, for the first time, to examine culture since 9/11 from the perspective of hospitality. It asks new questions about how we engage with others and strangers and claims hospitality as an imperative political concern as well as a social, cultural, and ethical one.
