Joyce Wexler Libros

Focusing on Joseph Conrad's anarchist fiction, the book examines its relevance to contemporary terrorism. It challenges the notion that terrorists are mere fanatics by depicting anarchists and police as two sides of the same coin, motivated by the fundamental human desires for autonomy and belonging. The concept of postcritique invites readers to reassess prevailing narratives, while research in Terrorism Studies supports Conrad's portrayal of more nuanced characters and a surprisingly optimistic political perspective.
