Not in Our Name!

Michael D. Giardina

Mary E. Weems

Born out of anger and frustration with the Bush administration’s unilateral intervention in Iraq and the attendant mediated responses to such action that question the patriotism of peace activists and those who dare speak out against the draconian neoconservative agenda currently dominating American cultural politics, "Not in Our Name!" marks an ongoing conversation about and critical interrogation of the post-9/11 moment. Re/presented as a symbolic interactive messy performance text that crosses generations, races, and genders, the authors seek to police this crisis of global uncertainty and imagine radically free utopian spaces where the promise of progressive democratic values are not overrun by corrupt political ideologies masquerading under the guise of jingoistic patriotism, the "War on Terror" marketing slogan, and an "Us" versus "Them" mentality. The authors’ active words and voices of resistance and passion envision an end to this national nightmare and a dawning of a new day of hope.
