Terrorism:Theirs and Ours

In Terrorism: Theirs and Ours, Eqbal Ahmad offers a nuanced and incisive critique of the global discourse on terrorism. The book dissects the term “terrorism,” exploring how it is shaped by history, politics, and power dynamics. Ahmad highlights the role of imperialism, state violence, and socio-economic injustices in fueling terrorism, contrasting it with the selective morality of global powers. By drawing connections between colonial oppression and modern-day conflicts, he provides a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of terrorism. Ahmad’s work is both a critique and a call for justice, urging readers to move beyond stereotypes toward meaningful solutions.
