{"product_id":"security-and-terror-eli-jelly-schapiro-9780520295384","title":"Security and Terror: American Culture and the Long History of Colonial Modernity","description":"When in 1492 Christopher Columbus set out for Asia but instead happened upon the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola, his error inaugurated a specifically colonial modernity. This is, \u003ci\u003eSecurity and Terror\u003c\/i\u003e contends, the colonial modernity within which we still live. And its enduring features are especially vivid in the current American century, a moment marked by a permanent War on Terror and pervasive capitalist dispossession. Resisting the assumption that September 11, 2001, constituted a historical rupture, Eli Jelly-Schapiro traces the political and philosophic genealogies of security and terror--from the settler-colonization of the New World to the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond. A history of the present crisis, \u003ci\u003eSecurity and Terror\u003c\/i\u003e also examines how that history has been registered and reckoned with in significant works of contemporary fiction and theory--in novels by Teju Cole, Mohsin Hamid, Junot D az, and Roberto Bola o, and in the critical interventions of Jean Baudrillard, Giorgio Agamben, Judith Butler, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, and others. In this richly interdisciplinary inquiry, Jelly-Schapiro reveals how the erasure of colonial pasts enables the perpetual reproduction of colonial culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eli Jelly-Schapiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520295382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520295384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Eli Jelly-Schapiro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056222793983,"sku":"9780520295384","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89414a84-9dfc-4966-8e50-5b2e6f4e82ed.jpg?v=1685040175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/security-and-terror-eli-jelly-schapiro-9780520295384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
