Informationen zum Autor Amitava Kumar Klappentext "Amitava Kumar has written a unique book. It is ultimately a book about neoliberalism, about the public interest defined as militarism rather than as well-being. It is a book about the imagination reduced to suspicion and fear rather than hope and liberty. It is a book that swells from India to Indiana, depicting the global ecology of antiterrorism."--Vijay Prashad, author of "The Darker Nations. A People's History of the Third World" Zusammenfassung Part reportage and part protest! an inquiry into the cultural logic and global repercussions of the war on terror! with particular focus on the United States and India.
