Zusammenfassung:"Robert Ivie, who has written extensively over the last thirty years on American war rhetoric, discusses democracy's centrality to national identity and how prevailing constructions of democracy constitute a republic of fear in which the threat of foreign and domestic "others" is chronically exaggerated through rituals of vilification and victimization." "In reassessing the nation's traditional distrust of democracy (the lively and healthy exchange of differing ideas and ideals) and critiquing the rhetoric of evil, Ivie argues that the problem of international terrorism is best addressed by strengthening, rather than weakening, America's democratic practices - that is, by enriching a democratic culture of robust debate."--BOOK JACKET.
