Negotiating film/media studies with cultural theory and social theory, it explores the ways films not ostensibly about the attacks channel various anxieties and fears surrounding them. The book's major strength is its confident close analysis of individual films within a cogently defined social/cultural context, but it also has the advantage of mounting a sustained argument from an individual point of view, one given added heft by being from an Arab-American's perspective. - James Morrison, Claremont McKenna College Author InformationFareed Ben-Youssef is Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies at Texas Tech University.
