Examines how histories of war are inextricably tied to histories of media, with a focus on the global War on Terror. Interrogates dominant media and policy approaches to terrorism and their construction of the Islamist “enemy” through tropes of backwardness and fanaticism. Seeks instead to situate Islamist movements historically and politically, and in doing so, to consider how Islamist radicalism is deeply intertwined with capitalist modernity, mutually constitutive with contemporary militarism and imperialism, and might darkly mirror other key aspects of contemporary political life.
