Description

Whether we like it or not, an atmosphere of fear pervades modern culture.

In America, each day is color-coded for the level of threat; newspapers fill with gloomy news of climate crisis; and the radio and TV bleat with Amber alerts, car crashes, and the war wounded.In this groundbreaking work, award-winning historian Joanna Bourke helps us understand the landscape of fear we now navigate.

Her review of the past two hundred years � from diagnosed phobias to the media's role in creating new ones � prompts strikingly original observations about the mind and worldview of the � long twentieth century." Blending sociocultural analysis with psychology, philosophy, and popular science, this beautifully written and exhaustively researched book offers an authoritative look at one of humankind's most basic emotions.
