Summary / Abstract (Note) | The historic event of 9/11 reminded Brendan Simms, a Professor at Cambridge University, of the words of poet William Butler Yeats: ‘All changed, changed utterly - a terrible beauty is born’. What has changed after 9/11? And which terrible beauty was born in the wake of it? The 9/11 attacks questioned the ‘secular modernity’ underlying contemporary world politics, instilled a demonic image of Islamic civilization, and provided a launching pad to US-led war on terror [Islamic terror?] in Afghanistan. |
