About this book

Remembering 9/11 recalls the afterlife of the tragedy and the shock that led many to ask 'why do they hate us so much?' Engaging with the different voices that attempted to make sense of the trauma, Seidler traces the narratives of fear, loss and vulnerability and the ways in which they evolved into feelings of rage and retribution.

Reviews

“The book, which is the fruit of over a decade of writing, is based on the cultural-collective impact of the terrorist attacks on 9/11 … . this book is a thoroughly instructive read – especially because of its stimulating ideas on unmasking Eurocentric tendencies and exposing the use of oversimplified dualisms in social theory, as well as the richness of its illustrative findings … .  book remains an engaged and engaging inquiry into the public resonance to 9/11 and its aftermath.” (Oliver Dimbath, The Sociological Review, Vol. 63 (1), May, 2015)
