Representing Jihad
O'Rourke, Jacqueline.
Representing Jihad The Appearing and Disappearing Radical. [electronic resource] : - London : Zed Books, 2012. - 1 online resource (266 p.)
Description based upon print version of record.
The jihad has been at the centre of the West's securitization discourse for more than a decade. Theorists frequently use the jihadist as a discursive tool to further their military and market agendas, helped by Muslim interlocutors, who all too often play the role of the 'good' Muslim explaining the motifs of the 'bad'. Representing Jihad skilfully critiques the debate around the jihadist, arguing that Muslim theory and fiction have been commodified to cater to the needs of Western ideology.
