This article traces its recurrence and development throughout US history, from America's 18th century revolution to the post-world War II American century and from Cold War to the present open-ended war on terror - a continuing quest for empire under the sign of civilisation and democracy. The three main dimensions of the image of savagery and multiple sets of decivilising vehicles are identified as an initial step towards language critique. - Reproduced.  aTerrorism - United States  aTerrorism  aThird World Quarterly  a65302  c65302d65302  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 26, Issue no: 1pAR65754r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
