Making Threats

de Betsy Hartmann · Publicada por primera vez en 2005

"Making Threats: Biofears and Environmental Anxieties addresses how environmental and biological fears are used to manufacture threats to individual, national, and global security. Contributors from a wide variety of perspectives discuss what they share in common: the view that fears should be critically examined to avoid unnecessary alarm and scapegoating of people and nations as the "enemy Other." by uncovering the tools that make fear resonate in the public consciousness, by identifying the interests that create or are sustained by fears, Making Threats engages with some of the most potent and disturbing political and cultural aspects of contemporary life."--Jacket.
