Color-coded terrorism alerts are issued, then lifted with no explanation. False alarms can, like crying wolf, desensitize people to a real need to be on alert. And that psychic numbing is just one effect discussed in this book by fifteen psychologists teamed up to take a critical look at the U.S. war on terrorism. These experts are led by the Chairman of an American Psychological Association task force charged with pinpointing the effect of our anti-terrorism efforts on American mental health. Together, they present the most up-to-date and intriguing picture we have of the fallout on our own people from our own programs. The text spotlights stereotyping of foreigners, increased domestic hate crimes, fear, depression and helplessness, as well as increased militancy and belligerence, especially among students. Perhaps most disturbing in the land of the free, we also see increasing acceptance of restrictions on our personal freedoms, and acceptance of human rights violations.

Perhaps most disturbing in the land of the free, our attention is drawn to growing acceptance of restrictions on our personal freedoms, and acceptance of human rights violations.
Contributors to this collection aim to give us a reality check, looking at what our national reactions to terrorism have been, how those reactions have affected the psyche of our people and whether this has made us stronger or weaker, and more or less likely to be the target for future attacks.

"Led by the chairman of the American Psychological Association task force charged with pinpointing the effect of anti-terrorism efforts on America's mental health, these experts offer the most up-to-date picture available of the fallout of antiterrorism programs. That fallout, as discussed here, includes stereotyping of foreigners, increased domestic hate crimes, fear, depression and feelings of helplessness, as well as increasing militancy and belligerence, especially among students. Perhaps most disturbing in the "land of the free," is a growing acceptance of human-rights violations and restrictions on personal freedoms."--Jacket
