The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America by Susan Faludi

3.0

I loved the first part of the book where she describes the gendered media/cultural responses to the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent war in Afghanistan. In the second part of hte book, she traces the "American" cultural response to the Indian captivity narratives that were popular in 18th century Puritan colonies and later U.S. This part was not as interesting to me... so, I'm putting the book down.
