Omschrijving
The extradition of terror suspects reveals the worst features of the security state
A monumental study of how the 'War on Terror' has allowed states to operate outside the boundaries of reason and decency. This is courageous research, a book that should be read by all citizens of 21st century states that claim to be fighting extremism but have themselves become extremist states.
Gripping, frightening, urgent - Nisha Kapoor's book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the shifting terrain of securitisation, racialisation and the rolling back of human rights. It should be required reading for every student, teacher and advocate concerned to challenge state racism. For those inclined to trust the government, this book reveals the hidden and not so hidden injustices carried out in y/our name. For those who find themselves in the sights of a securitising state, this book lets you know that you are not alone. For anyone who doubts that the treatment of those suspected of terrorism reveals a shift in state practices that can seep out into other realms, this book offers a careful but devastating warning. We understand, what can be done to them can be done to us. After this book, none of us can pretend again that we did not know.
Nisha Kapoor is a Lecturer in Sociology atthe University of York, and a Visiting Fellow at the Center for Race, Ethnicityand Gender in the Social Sciences at Duke University (REGSS). She is the co-editor of The State of Race (2013, Palgrave).
