Böcker av Mary N. Layoun

Brings together ten essays that explore the ways that our notions of fear, insecurity, and danger are fostered by intermediary sources such as television, radio, film, satellite imaging, and the Internet. This book is designed to promote strategic thinking about the relationships between media, popular culture, and global security.

Offers a commentary on the idea of nationalism in general and on specific attempts to formulate alternatives to the concept. Drawing on readings of literature and of official documents and decrees with exiles and refugees, this book uses various historical incidents as a means of highlighting a recurring trope within constructs of nationalism.
