An important and moving investigation of the costs of the 'war on
terror' for those who have been its targets, including the
thousands of innocent Muslims who have been infiltrated, entrapped,
and surveilled in the search for the radicalized terrorist among
us. Kundnani gives eloquent voice to the communities that have been
regulated, watched, and silenced by the national security
state.
*David Cole, author of Enemy Aliens: Double Standards and
Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism*
A bold new look at the much discussed issue of surveillance,
documenting how it impacts the communities most affected-American
and British Muslims. With incisive reporting from across the US and
the UK, combined with trenchant analysis, Arun Kundnani captures
what it feels like to be a 'suspect population.'
*Deepa Kumar, author of Islamophobia and the Politics of
Empire*
This timely and urgent analysis carefully examines the ideologies
and law enforcement strategies that undergird the domestic War on
Terror. What Kundnani finds is disturbing: sweeping, specious
radicalization theory and racialized assumptions about the nature
of Islam drive domestic counterterrorism practices. This has had
devastating consequences for the rights and liberties of Muslims
and the state of constitutional protections in the US and UK.
*Jeanne Theoharis, author of The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa
Parks*
An incisive, scholarly, bold, and convincing critique of the
never-ending 'War on Terror,' whose roots extend far beyond the
tragedy of 9/11. An important work.
*Wajahat Ali, cohost of Al Jazeera America’s The Stream and author
of The Domestic Crusaders*
Indispensable and powerful . Essential reading for government
officials engaged in designing our counterterrorism policies, as
well as readers trying to make sense of them.
*Faiza Patel, Codirector of the Liberty and National Security
Program, Brennan Center, NYU School of Law*
A must-read guide to the second decade of war waged on the home
front.
*John Feffer, author of Crusade 2.0: The West’s Resurgent War on
Islam*
Excellent and timely. a compelling guide to the debate over the
nature of British Islam.
