      abstract = {"This work examines violence in the age of the terror wars  with an eye toward the technologies of governance that  create, facilitate, and circulate that violence. In  performing a rhetorical cartography that explores the rise  of the US armed drone program as well as moments of  resistive violence that occurred during the Arab Spring  directed at generating a counter-hegemony by Muslim  populations, the author argues that the problem of the  global terror wars is best addressed by a rhetorical  understanding of the ways that governments, as well as  individual subjects, turn to violence as a response to, or  product of, the post September 11th terror society. When  political examinations of terrorism are facilitated through  understandings of discourse, Hayes argues, clearer maps  emerge of how violence functions to offer mechanisms by  which governing bodies, and their subjects, evaluate the  success or failure of the "War on Terror." This book will  be of interest to public policymakers and informed general  readers as well as students and scholars in the fields of  rhetoric, political theory, critical geography, US foreign  relations/policy, war and peace studies, and cultural  studies"--Page [4] of cover.},
