Bush and non-citizen actors -- Terrorism and the American culture.Winner of the 2008 Outstanding Book Award presented by the Political Communication Division of the National Communication AssociationThe topic of terrorism has evolved into an ideological marker of American culture, one that has fundamentally altered the relationship between the three branches of government, between the government and the people, and between America and countries abroad. In the Name of Terrorism describes and analyzes the public communication strategies presidents have deployed to discuss terrorism since the end of World War II. Drawing upon internal administration documents, memoirs, and public papers, Carol K. Winkler uncovers how presidents have capitalized on public perceptions of the terrorist threat, misrepresented actual terrorist events, and used the term "terrorism" to influence electoral outcomes both at home and abroad. Perhaps more importantly, she explains their motivations for doing so, and critically discusses the moral and political implications of the present range of narratives used to present terrorism to the public.SUNY series on the presidency.SUNY series in the trajectory of terror.TerrorismGovernment policyUnited StatesPolitical oratoryUnited StatesRhetoricPolitical aspectsUnited StatesPresidentsUnited StatesLanguageIdeologyUnited StatesTerrorismGovernment policyPolitical oratoryRhetoricPolitical aspectsPresidentsLanguage.Ideology303.6/25/0973Winkler Carol1716617MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814259003321In the name of terrorism4112058UNINA
