{"product_id":"the-sleeper-agent-in-post-911-vanessa-ossa-9783031115158","title":"The Sleeper Agent in Post-9\/11 Media","description":"This book examines the figure of the sleeper agent as part of post-9\/11 political, journalistic and fictional discourse. There is a tendency to discuss the terroristic threat after 9\/11 as either a faraway enemy to be hunted down by military force or, on the other hand, as a ubiquitous, intangible threat that required constant alertness at home. The missing link between these two is the sleeper agent - the foreign enemy hiding among US citizens. By analyzing popular television shows, several US comic books, and a broad variety of Hollywood films that depict sleeper agents direct or allegorically, this book explores how a shift in perspective-from terrorist to sleeper agent-brings new insights into our understanding of post-9\/11 representations of terrorism. The book's interdisciplinary focus between media studies, cultural studies, and American studies, suggests that it will find an audience in a variety of fields, including historical research, narratology, popular culture, as well as media and terrorism studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanessa Ossa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031115155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031115158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Vanessa Ossa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44364963709183,"sku":"9783031115158","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0f9d346-3846-40dd-827a-99a04f70e665.jpg?v=1697055852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sleeper-agent-in-post-911-vanessa-ossa-9783031115158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
