"The Other Side of Terror: Black Women and the Culture of US Empire" by Erica R. Edwards is a book that challenges the common narrative of the war on terror as a decisive break from the past. Edwards argues that the rhetoric of terror is rooted in the US government's historical use of the terrorist trope to revive nationalist sentiment, particularly in response to Black activism and leftist movements in the 1960s. The book explores how Black women writers have exposed and resisted the ways in which the state positions them as both threats to national security and tools for its survival. Edwards uses a wide range of interdisciplinary sources to provide a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the subject. [Extracted from the article] |
