Transatlantic Literature and Culture After 9/11: The Wrong Side of Paradise [Hardcover]

Transatlantic Literature and Culture After 9/11 asks whether post-9/11 America has chosen the 'wrong side of paradise' by waging war on terror rather than working for global peace. Analyzing transatlantic literature and culture, the book refocuses our view of Ground Zero through the lenses of imperial power and cosmopolitan exchange.Introduction: Kristine Miller, 'The Wrong Side of Paradise: American Exceptionalism and the Post-9/11 Special Relationship' PART I: EMPIRE 1.
