Bush and non-citizen actors -- Terrorism and the American culture. 330 $aWinner of the 2008 Outstanding Book Award presented by the Political Communication Division of the National Communication AssociationThe topic of terrorism has evolved into an ideological marker of American culture, one that has fundamentally altered the relationship between the three branches of government, between the government and the people, and between America and countries abroad. In the Name of Terrorism describes and analyzes the public communication strategies presidents have deployed to discuss terrorism since the end of World War II. Drawing upon internal administration documents, memoirs, and public papers, Carol K. Winkler uncovers how presidents have capitalized on public perceptions of the terrorist threat, misrepresented actual terrorist events, and used the term "terrorism" to influence electoral outcomes both at home and abroad. Perhaps more importantly, she explains their motivations for doing so, and critically discusses the moral and political implications of the present range of narratives used to present terrorism to the public. 410 0$aSUNY series on the presidency. 410 0$aSUNY series in the trajectory of terror. 606 $aTerrorism$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical oratory$zUnited States 606 $aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xLanguage 606 $aIdeology$zUnited States 615 0$aTerrorism$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPolitical oratory 615 0$aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPresidents$xLanguage. 615 0$aIdeology 676 $a303.6/25/0973 700 $aWinkler$b Carol$01716617 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814259003321 996 $aIn the name of terrorism$94112058 997 $aUNINA
