Krátky popis
It's been said that, after 9/11, the 2008 financial crash and the
Covid-19 pandemic, we're a more fearful society than ever before.
Yet fear, and the panic it produces, have long been driving forces
- perhaps the driving force - of world history: fear of God, of
famine, war, disease, poverty, and other people. In Fear: An
Alternative History of the World, Robert Peckham considers the
impact of fear in history, as both a coercive tool of power and as
a catalyst for social change.Beginning with the Black Death in the
fourteenth century, Peckham traces a shadow history of fear. He
takes us through the French Revolution and the social movements of
the nineteenth century to modern market crashes, Cold War paranoia
and the AIDS pandemic, into a digital culture increasingly marked
by uniquely twenty-first-century fears. What did fear mean to us in
the past, and how can a better understanding of it equip us to face
the future? As Peckham demonstrates, fear can challenge as well as
cement authority.Some crises have destroyed societies, others have
been the making of them. Through the stories of the people and the
moments that changed history, Fear: An Alternative History of the
World reveals how fear and panic made us who we are.
