Terror and Performance

In this exceptional investigation, Rustom Bharucha offers a compelling, non-Eurocentric perspective on the dangerous liaisons between terror and performance. Questioning the equation of `terror¿ with `terrorism,¿ this bold text offers alternative epistemologies and narratives of terror. It draws on a vast spectrum of human cruelties ¿ relating to war, genocide, apartheid, communal and ethnic violence ¿ in India, the Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa and Palestine, among other parts of the global South.
