The “Other” In 9/11 Literature If You See Something, Say Something / by Lenore Bell.

• Introduction: Fiction’s First Responders -- Chapter 1. An American Breed: Wealthy White Protagonists -- Chapter 2. Fighting the Need to Be Normal: Terrorists and other Muslim Characters -- Chapter 3. You Want to Dance, I Want to Watch: African- American Characters -- Chapter 4. Off White Crayons: Ethnically Marked White Characters -- Conclusion: Flight From Innocence.

• This book breaks the assumption that the racial tension the in 9/11 novels lies solely in the dynamic between “Americans” and “terrorists.” It also interrogates post-9/11 constructions of whiteness and the treatment of African-American characters.
