PINEU, Daniel. The West and the rest: reflexões sobre uma década de guerra contra o terrorThe West and the Rest: reflections about a decade of War on Terror. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2011, n.31, pp.61-65. ISSN 1645-9199.

Mainstream media analyses and a large majority of scholarly accounts in European capitals and the US focus disproportionately on the terrorists, or the individuals and organizations involved in the War on Terror. Such mainstream analyses of 9/11 and its aftermath regularly portray citizens and countries in the global South as incapable of resisting or fighting against extremism in their own terms. This article aims to complexify the narrative of Sept. 11, extending it in time and space, and tires to think the post-11 September decade from a de-centered/postcolonial perspective - that is, a different perspective of the dominant narratives prevalent in the power centers of the global North/West.

Palabras clave : 11 de Setembro; United States; 9/11; terrorism; South Asia.
