In this exceptional investigation, Rustom Bharucha offers a compelling, non-Eurocentric perspective on the dangerous liaisons between terror and performance. Questioning the equation of 'terror' with 'terrorism, ' this bold text offers alternative epistemologies and narratives of terror. It draws on a vast spectrum of human cruelties - relating to war, genocide, apartheid, communal and ethnic violence - in India, the Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa and Palestine, among other parts of the global South.

Alan Read, King's College LondonThis book is not only timely. It is overdue and it is a masterpiece unrivalled by any book I know of. Erika Fischer-Lichte, Freie Universitaet BerlinThe first and only book that focuses on the intersections of performance, terror and terrorism as played out beyond a Euro-American context post-9/11. It is an important work, both substantively and methodologically. Jenny Hughes, University of Manchester A profound and tightly bound sequence of reflections a rigorously provocative book.
