From the rear cover

"Ron Eyerman has combined his two exquisite skills of an exceptionally thorough researcher and a consummate theorist to produce a uniquely enlightening study of the intricate mechanism which--in our times of the frailty of social setting, acute public uncertainty, and heightened susceptibility to moral panics--leads to the production of 'traumatic events, ' subsequently deployed as catalysts in the reshaping of public memory and reinterpretation of collective identities. A masterly study of one of the most neuralgic phenomena in contemporary culture, bound to inform and direct our efforts to comprehend its dynamics."--Zygmunt Bauman, Professor Emeritus, University of Leeds and University of Warsaw
