Description
Extract from the section introduction by Bob Catterall:
The image of a siege suggested itself as we first began on the 13th of September to explore with others the meanings of the attacks, and their implications for policy and action, on New York and Washington on the 11th...
The inquiry started in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England and is being edited in San Francisco in late November. The bulk of the contributions were written for this issue and are from Canada, Greece and Mexico as well as the US and Britain. We have also included immediate responses in the form of a sermon from Newcastle and Mike Davis' contribution to a US teach-in. Eric Darton's strangely prescient discussion of his 1999 book on the World Trade Center preceded September 11th. We end this feature with Haleh Afshar's thoughts about the nature of Islamic fundamentalism, or, rather, renewal and return.
