Book Announcement
GECHS Associate Betsy Hartmann has published Making Threats: Biofears and Environmental Anxieties (2005, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.). This edited book addresses how environmental and biological fears are used to manufacture threats to individual, national, and global security. Contributors from environmental studies, political science, international security, biology, sociology and anthropology discuss what they share in common: the view that fears should be critically examined to avoid unnecessary alarm and scapegoating of people and nations as the ‘enemy Other’.
