Description

Joseba Zulaika, Terrorism: The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2009, 288 pp. In Terrorism: The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, Joseba Zulaika contends that a new way of talking about the world "took hold" of America during the 1970s. "The powers that be," which is Zulaika's shorthand for top office holders within the executive branch of the federal government, had not talked extensively about terrorism before then (although they spoke about assassinations, revolutionary violence, and kidnappings). At the twilight of the Cold War, they coined a new vocabulary for describing foreign conflict. They posited the existence of a subtype of human being ("the terrorist") who is defined by a total absence of normal moral restraint on his or her insatiable desire to kill and murder, who allegedly acts without any clear and viable political goal in mind, and who purportedly lacks interest in adjusting or moderating violent behavior.
