| Summary, etc. | <br/>"Herbst defines, traces, and explains the loaded, controversial, confusing, and shifting language that surrounds terrorist activity. The dictionary comprises words used to characterize individuals, groups, or countries that commit or support acts of political violence. Also covered is language that conveys the justifications and agendas of those responding to violence, including those groups' self-characterizations, which often mask questionable or egregious activities. Terrorists' uses of language to smear enemies, recruit and inspire group members, and communicate the righteousness of their causes are also examined." "Following an A-to-Z format, this book identifies and defines terms in dictionary style, then explores the charged meanings of the words, often with usage examples. Cross-references direct readers to related words, illuminating the complicated web of verbal warfare. Through the words and verbal maneuvers that are discussed, readers will learn how enemies are manufactured through demonization, biased media coverage, and government spin. This is an eye-opener for anyone seeking to come to grips with today's tumultuous political world - and the dynamic language it uses."--Jacket. |
