Inhaltsangabe

In this exceptional investigation, Rustom Bharucha offers a compelling, non-Eurocentric perspective on the dangerous liaisons between terror and performance. Questioning the equation of 'terror' with 'terrorism,' this bold text offers alternative epistemologies and narratives of terror. It draws on a vast spectrum of human cruelties - relating to war, genocide, apartheid, communal and ethnic violence - in India, the Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa and Palestine, among other parts of the global South.
