Content:
This title examines how political leaders drew upon a long tradition of consolation discourse in their effort to interpret September 11, arguing that the day's events were mediated through memories of past suffering in decisive ways. It then traces how the struggle to define the meaning of September 11 has continued in foreign policy discourse, commemoration ceremonies, and the contentious redevelopment of the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan.
