Two boys who worked for Haefner accused him of sexual molestation. Drawing on interviews and recently discovered documents, Sherwood revisits the case and explores a number of open questions"--

An insightful study of how identity is mobilized in and for war in the face of homegrown terrorism. “You are either with us, or against us” is the refrain that captures the spirit of the global war on terror. Images of the “them” implied in this war cry—distinct foreign “others”—inundate Americans on hit television shows, Hollywood blockbusters, and nightly news. However, in this book, Piotr Szpunar tells the story of a fuzzier image: the homegrown terrorist, a foe that blends into the crowd, who Americans are told looks, talks, and acts “like us.” Homegrown delves into the dynamics of domestic counterterrorism, revealing the complications that arise when the terrorist threat involves Americans, both residents and citizens, who have taken up arms against their own country. Szpunar examines the ways in which identities are blurred in the war on terror, amid debates concerning who is “the real terrorist.” He considers cases ranging from the white supremacist Sikh Temple shooter, to the Newburgh Four, ex-convicts caught up in an FBI informant-led plot to bomb synagogues, to ecoterrorists, to the Tsarnaev brothers responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing. Drawing on popular media coverage, court documents, as well as “terrorist”-produced media, Szpunar poses new questions about the strategic deployment of identity in times of conflict. The book argues that homegrown terrorism challenges our long held understandings of how identity and difference play out in war—beyond “us versus them”—and, more importantly, that the way in which it is conceptualized and combatted has real consequences for social, cultural, and political notions of citizenship and belonging. The first critical examination of homegrown terrorism, this book will make you question how we make sense of the actions of ourselves and others in global war, and the figures that fall in between.

L'année 2016 a été consacrée comme celle de la " post-vérité ". Que faut-il comprendre par ce terme ? Selon le dictionnaire d'Oxford, qui en a fait son mot de l'année, le terme désignerait des " circonstances dans lesquelles les faits objectifs ont moins d'influence pour former l'opinion publique que l'appel à l'émotion et aux croyances personnelles ". Ce livre prend le parti de retourner à la source de cet état des lieux et l'identifie dans le concept de " bullshit " théorisé par le philosophe Harry Frankfurt en 1986. Ce qu'il a défini comme une " indifférence à l'égard de la vérité " distincte du mensonge s'avère en effet un outil conceptuel remarquablement efficace pour saisir comment l'opinion prétend l'emporter sur la vérité et pour comprendre le succès des impostures scientifiques et des " théories du complot ". L'ère de la post-vérité est bien celle du bullshit institué à une échelle globale, et seule une compréhension fine de ce phénomène permettra d'engager la lutte qui se prépare. Heureusement, une telle science du bullshit est en fait déjà disponible, mais il restait à l'assembler en un seul volume accessible, utile et stimulant
