MEMORY AND THE WARS ON TERROR GEBUNDEN

This edited collection aims to respond to dominant perspectives on twenty-first-century war by
exploring how the events of 9 11 and the subsequent Wars on Terror are represented and
remembered outside of the US framework. Existing critical coverage ignores the meaning of these
events for people  nations and cultures apparently peripheral to them but which have - as shown
in this collection - been extraordinarily affected by the social  political and cultural
changes these wars have wrought. Adopting a literary and cultural history approach  the book
asks how these events resonate and continue to show effects in the rest of the world  with a
particular focus on Australia and Britain. It argues that such reflections on the impact of the
Wars on Terror help us to understand what global conflict means in a contemporary context  as
well as what its representative motifs might tell us about how nations like Australia and
Britain perceive and construct their remembered identities on theworld stage in the
twenty-first century. In its close examination of films  novels  memoir  visual artworks  media
and minority communities in the years since 2001  this collection looks at the global impacts
of these events  and the ways they have shaped  and continue to shape  Britain and Australia's
relation to the rest of the world.
