How does the war on terror impact immigrants going about their daily lives? What role has entrapment played both on the part of recruitment for terrorist organizations and on the part of the U.S. military? How can the distance be measured between dominant images of terrorists and the "displaced provincials" who become involved on the front lines of terrorist organizations? As part of the Institute for the Liberal Arts' 2010-2012 Race and Culture After 9/11 Lecture Series and Symposium, writer and Vassar College professor Amitava Kumar probes these and other questions in a lecture drawn from his book, A Foreigner Carrying in the Crook of His Arm a Tiny Bomb.
