| after september 11 archive |
| In the days following
September 11, the SSRC asked social scientists from around the world to
contribute essays to a website called "After September 11."
Although they were written under quick deadlines, we believe these web-essays
still hold remarkable value for the insights they provide on September
11 and its aftermath, especially in the days and weeks immediately following.
While the information and analyses contained within the essays may now
be dated, we believe it is still worthwhile to make them available in
an archive. The reader is advised that information contained in the essays
should be checked against contemporary sources for accuracy. Updated versions
of many of the essays are available in two volumes published by The New
Press September 1, 2002. Please click here
for more information on the books and on how to order them online.
The Council will continue this website later in the year with essays on a number of contemporary conflicts. The editors have added hyperlinks in the right-hand margin of essays. We have chosen what we hope are useful additional resources to the concepts discussed by the authors. |
