Opis

This title analyses a variety of US and Pakistani novels and films since 9/11 and focuses on how such fictions construct an understanding of history through the portrayal of two stock characters in the espionage genre: the spy and the spy's nemesis, who, in this context, is the religious extremist or fundamentalist.
