內容簡介: |
This book explores new ground in social movements by analyzing
an escalatingspiral of tension between the Patriot movement and the
state centered on themutual framing of conflict as "warfare." By
examining the social construction of"warfare" as a principal script
or frame defining the movement-state dynamic,Stuart A. Wright
explains how this highly charged confluence of a war
narrativeengendered a kind of symbiosis leading to the escalation
of a mutual threat thatculminated in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Wright offers a unique perspectiveon the events leading up to the
bombing because he served as a consultant toTimothy McVeigh''s
defense team and draws on primary data based on face-to-face
interviews with McVeigh. The book contends that McVeigh was
firmlyentrenched in the Patriot movement and was part of a network
of "warriorcells" that planned and implemented the bombing. As
such, the bombing mustbe viewed through the lens of a social
movement framework in order to fullyunderstand the incident and the
role played by McVeigh.
