The cultivation of fear, whether real or imagined, is a process which affects and manipulates individuals on a sprawling range of issues from health and food through to home security and the perceived threat of terrorism. Safe, the latest edition in the WSQ series, explores the divergent issues that arise from the existence and use of fear as a personal and political tool. Topics covered include: bioethics and biopolitics, children and family, crisis and revolution, sex and terrorism.
