This Week: The Terror Dream

user-pic

Welcome to TPMCafe's Book Club table. This week we're hosting a discussion of Susan Faludi's new book, The Terror Dream.

In the book, Faludi argues that since 9/11 the new national narrative has become one of jingoism, chest-beating and hyper-masculine posturing. This disconnect from reality, she argues, has led to some fatally ill-informed policy disasters.

Joining her in the discussion will be blogger Amanda Marcotte, The Wimp Factor author Professor Stephen Ducat and Learning to Drive author Katha Pollitt.

Previous Book Club discussions have covered the work of Thomas Frank, Anthony Shadid, Larry Diamond, George Packer, Ivo Daalder/James Lindsay, Robert Dreyfuss, Chris Mooney, Gene Sperling, Gershom Gorenberg, Peter Beinart, Kevin Phillips, Sidney Blumenthal, Reed Hundt, Anne-Marie Slaughter, John Ikenberry, Jonathan Cohn, Daniel Gross, Steven Cook, Chris Hayes, Josh Kurlantzick, Glenn Greenwald, Todd Gitlin, Jonathan Chait, Greg Anrig, Jr., Matt Bai, Katha Pollitt, and Michael Shellenberger, Ted Nordhaus, Daniel Brook and Paul Krugman.

religious sect may degenerate into a political faction,' wrote James Madison, but the new American nation would nevertheless be protected against the ungovernable combination of religious fervor and political power as long as the Constitution prohibited the federal government from establishing any particular creed as preeminent.
