Abstract

Abstract This article reviews three recent books, each of which help establish connections between the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 and the storming of the U.S. Capitol in 2021. The review highlights the ways the 9/11 attacks amplified latent nativist and xenophobic currents in U.S. society. It also shows how the prosecution of the Global War on Terror militarized new sectors of American society while simultaneously undermining trust in government as economic convulsions, protracted overseas wars, and the Covid-19 pandemic adversely affected ordinary Americans. In the course of developing these arguments the review helps explain Donald Trump’s popular appeal and it shows how and why America may now be on the brink of a new civil war.

战争是如何回家的:从9/11到美国国会大厦的风暴

本文回顾了最近出版的三本书，每一本书都有助于建立2001年世界贸易中心袭击事件与2021年美国国会大厦袭击事件之间的联系。这份报告强调了9/11袭击如何放大了美国社会中潜在的本土主义和仇外情绪。它还展示了全球反恐战争的起诉如何使美国社会的新部门军事化，同时破坏了对政府的信任，因为经济动荡、旷日持久的海外战争和新冠肺炎疫情对普通美国人造成了不利影响。在发展这些论点的过程中，这篇评论有助于解释唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的受欢迎程度，并展示了美国现在如何以及为什么可能处于一场新的内战的边缘。

期刊介绍： Reviews in Anthropology is the only anthropological journal devoted to lengthy, in-depth review commentary on recently published books. Titles are largely drawn from the professional literature of anthropology, covering the entire range of work inclusive of all sub-disciplines, including biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a smaller number of books is selected from related disciplines. Articles evaluate the place of new books in their theoretical and topical literatures, assess their contributions to anthropology as a whole, and appraise the current state of knowledge in the field. The highly diverse subject matter sustains both specialized research and the generalist tradition of holistic anthropology.
