Dr. Fiona Jeffries is an expert in global communication studies and media, teaches at Carleton University. I haven't yet seen this book, but it looks like a good one to locate "fear" within the larger cultural-historical-political and mediated world--what I would call the Fear Problem. I have enjoyed reading her articles too, as she is taking a route to studying fear without falling into the hegemonic (apoliticized) individual psychology discourse and ultimately the concomitant victim-mentality and framing that goes with it (leading to political helplessness and hopelessness). Good stuff.
