Table of ContentsReviewsGripping and smart, American Cinema in the Shadow of 9/11 is a must-read for cinema students and researchers. It offers especially timely and important analyses of post-9/11 US film through a series of lucid essays that incisively explore how the traumas and anxieties of the terrorist attacks continue to haunt American identity and its imaginary. I can't recommend this book enough for anyone interested in the cultural function of film, narrative, and allegory. -- Dr Anna Froula, East Carolina University 'Both [of Terence McSweeney's] publications provide fascinating and timely discussions of contemporary cultural texts in an accessible and engaging way. They are guaranteed to spark the interest of varied audiences, from students of American studies to researchers theorizing post-9/11 representations, ideologies and discourses in popular culture, politics and the media. The authors' fast-paced style and passion for academically overlooked, yet hugely popular films, will certainly appeal to the non-specialist public intrigued by the subtexts of box office hits.'--Maria-Irina Popescu, University of Essex European Journal of American Culture "Both [of Terence McSweeney's] publications provide fascinating and timely discussions of contemporary cultural texts in an accessible and engaging way.
