Anotace knihy

This meticulously researched, forcibly argued and accessibly written collection explores the many and complex ways in which Africa has been implicated in the discourses and politics of 11 September 2001. "Securing Africa: Post- 9/11 Discourses on Terrorism" is written by critical scholars based in leading institutions in Canada, the United States, the Middle East and Africa. The impact of post-9/11 politics on Africa is interrogated from many disciplinary perspectives, including political science, sociology, history, anthropology, religious studies and cultural studies. The essays analyze the impact of 9/11 and the 'war on terror' on political dissent and academic freedom; the contentious vocabulary of crusades, clash of civilizations, barbarism and 'Islamofascism'; alternative genealogies of local and global terrorism; extraordinary renditions to black sites and torture; human rights and insecurities; collapsed states and the development-security merger; and antiterrorism policies from George W Bush to Barack Obama. "Securing Africa: Post-9/11 Discourses on Terrorism" is a much-needed meditation on historical and contemporary discourses on terrorism and a timely resource for students and policymakers who are deeply concerned about sustainable approaches to African in/securities and securing Africa.
