Beschreibung
A riveting exploration of terrorism's relationship to sex, with a new preface by the author Terrorism is the international crime that has captured the attention of the entire world, forcing governments to make radical changes in security and civil liberties. Meanwhile, everyone tries to comprehend the real reasons that inspire such violence. This is where political philosopher Robin Morgan beginsThe Demon Lover, a groundbreaking work of investigative journalism and a bestseller in the print edition. Through her globe-spanning examination of terrorism, Morgan unearths the roots of the phenomenon. With wide-ranging research across historical eras and a three-hundred-sixty-degree approach, she examines how violence has become eroticizedand conflated with masculinityto the lethal detriment of both women and men. Recent scientific studies referenced in the preface to this edition prove just how ahead of her time Morgan has been with her analysis. Her account of her own personal experience with militant tactics adopted by US radicals in the 1960s and 1970s is extraordinary, and her reports on and interviews with Palestinian women in the refugee camps of the Middle Eastwomen confiding for the first time, as women, details of their lives under terrorism every dayare deeply moving. Morgan also offers a compelling vision of hope for change, and an afterword includes her famous ';Letters from Ground Zero,' written after 9/11.The Demon Loveris Robin Morgan at her most intelligent and unforgettable.
