American Torture and American Terrorism: The Myth of American Decency
Wolfendale, Jessica (Professor, Department of Philosophy, Professor, Department of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University)
For most Americans the terms 'torture' and 'terrorism' evoke barbaric regimes and savage enemies, not liberal democracies like the US. By developing victim-centred definitions of torture and terrorism, American Torture and American Terrorism reveals how state violence that inflicts torture and terrorism has been embedded within American institutions since the country's founding.
