The book Under Fire 2 is the second volume of the Under Fire project, and is an edited compilation of dialogues that occurred online (September – December, 2004) among a group of artists, theorists, scientists, critics, activists, and journalists, both from the West and the Middle-East. The discussions were moderated by Jordan Crandall. For the purposes of this book, the material is not organized along a timeline but is grouped according to the main themes that have emerged in the discussions.
