Reviews"An insightful and important new edition to critical theory for our century."- Clamor "This is a highly appealing scenario of communication producing and illuminating dissent."- Bookforum "Thoughtfully and insightfully written ... Thinking Past Terror looks forward to the goal of a cosmopolitan Left that can find unity and strength to remain viable in ever-changing times."- Bookwatch "Susan Buck-Morss enables us to discover the Islamists as our neighbors: neither as fundamentalist fanatics unable to cope with modernity, nor as the exotic authentic Other, but as people sharing the same global predicament as ourselves."-Slavoj Zizek
