Two recent-ish books spring to mind.

Adam Hodges 2011 The "War on Terror" narative (Oxford UP)

Joseba Zulaika 2009 Terrorism the self-fulfilling prophecy

Hodges especially treats media and political discourse.

Subject: Query from a student looking for resources on the way "terrorist" is used in everyday discourse

Hi All,

I have an undergrad student taking my Language & Culture class, and she sent me the following query:

 "I am really interested in doing research on the ramifications of using the word terrorism and how different actors use that word to designate certain groups as terrorists. Let me know if there is anything more i could look into or if this not something linguistic anthropology would deal with."

I’ve pointed her to social media and the news, and will meet with her to discuss other options. But I was wondering if anyone here could recommend any materials that she could read on the topic.

Thanks!
Sonya
