The Demon Lover : The Roots of Terrorism
Terrorism is the international crime that has captured the attention of the entire world, forcing governments to make radical changes in security and civil liberties. Meanwhile, everyone tries to comprehend the real reasons that inspire such violence.
This is where political philosopher Robin Morgan begins The Demon Lover, a groundbreaking work of investigative journalism and a bestseller in the print edition. Through her globe-spanning examination of terrorism, Morgan unearths the roots of the phenomenon. With wide-ranging research across historical eras and a three-hundred-sixty-degree approach, she examines how violence has become eroticized—and conflated with masculinity—to the lethal detriment of both women and men.
Recent scientific studies referenced in the preface to this edition prove just how ahead of her time Morgan has been with her analysis. Her account of her own personal experience with militant tactics adopted by US radicals in the 1960s and 1970s is extraordinary, and her reports on and interviews with Palestinian women in the refugee camps of the Middle East—women confiding for the first time, as women, details of their lives under terrorism every day—are deeply moving. Morgan also offers a compelling vision of hope for change, and an afterword includes her famous “Letters from Ground Zero,” written after 9/11.
The Demon Lover is Robin Morgan at her most intelligent and unforgettable.

This talisman can take various forms, such as an emblem, a badge, or a physical object that represents the authority of those in higher positions. The talisman of hierarchy can have both positive and negative effects on a group or organization. On one hand, it helps to establish a sense of order and structure, ensuring that tasks and responsibilities are assigned to the appropriate individuals or groups.
It promotes accountability and efficiency within the hierarchy, as everyone knows their place and understands their role. On the other hand, the talisman of hierarchy can also lead to power imbalances and inequality. Those in higher positions may abuse their authority, leading to a lack of autonomy and voice for those lower in the hierarchy. This can create a culture of oppression and hinder innovation and creativity within the group or organization. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance when using the talisman of hierarchy. While it is necessary for maintaining order and structure, it should also be accompanied by transparency, accountability, and opportunities for growth and development. This will help to ensure that the hierarchy is fair and functional, benefiting both individuals and the group as a whole..
