What is terrorism? Who defines the term and for what purpose? What does it look like. In 1992, scholars, activists, and artists gathered in Baltimore at the Maryland Institute College of Art to pose answers to these questions. In this powerful collection multiple and often conflicting meanings of terrorism are revealed and argued in compelling and accessible essays, discussion, and images. This is a collaboration between internationally respected thinkers, political activists, and artists and serves as a visually engaging guidebook to contemporary world politics. Although it was originally published in 1993, its provides the essential background to today’s War on Terror. Includes Ward Churchill, Robert Merrill, Edward Herman, Alexander Cockburn, Michael Parenti, Margaret Randall, Ramsey Clark, and others.
