From Solidarity to Schisms is the first collection to expand discussions of the effects the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath have had on fiction and film beyond an exclusively US-based focus. The essays brought together here go beyond critiquing the US to examine the cultural shifts taking place in fiction and cinema from places such as Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Pakistan, Canada, Israel, and Iran. From these many sites of production, the works discussed in this collection illustrate more precisely how 9/11 was “global” without succumbing to neat categorizations, such as “us vs. them,” “East vs. West,” “Christianity vs. Islam,” and so on. From Solidarity to Schisms is an important supplement to the US-centered cultural and critical production addressing 9/11, providing researchers and teachers alike with resources and contexts that will allow them to broaden their own examinations of novels and films by Americans and about the US. It also provides a valuable resource for students and scholars of contemporary global history and international politics who are interested in approaching 9/11, terrorism and counter-terrorism, and related topics from a cultural standpoint.

"[…] the breadth of analysis on display here provides a range of perspectives that defeats any monolithic thinking with regard to this monumental event." – Ian Copestake, Bamberg, in: ARCHIV 248/2 (2011), pp. 450-2
"Often the only “foreign” responses examined in collections about 9/11 are the British and French ones, but the excellent essays Cilano (Univ. Of North Carolina, Wilmington) has collected take in artistic responses in Germany, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Canada, and Australia, among other countries. The collection is smartly written and arranged, with helpful abstracts at the head of each essay and a clear style throughout." – in: Choice 47/11 (August 2010)
