Invitation To Terror: The Expanding Empire of the Unknown - Frank Furedi

Frank Furedi argues that Western culture appears to feed off a diet of terror and inadvertently offers its enemies an invitation to be terrorised.  We have not developed an intellectual framework in which to be able to confront the fear of terrorism.  The language we use betrays confusion about the threat we face and therefore undermines our capacity to engage with it.  Beginning with the question of 'Why do they hate us?' we find ourselves unsure of who 'they' are.  Even more unsettling is the realisation that we are not quite sure of who 'we' are. 

In this startling and original book Frank Furedi engages with some of the most fundamental questions confronting society today.
