From the Back Cover

'This edited collection is as timely as it is impressive. It showcases the work of international scholars working across a diverse range of disciplines, affording unusual breadth as well as remarkable depth. The book not only interrogates dominant approaches toward the study of terrorism and prevention of politically and religiously motivated violence from within the West, it proposes alternate and more inclusive perspectives, drawing across detailed case studies from countries in the Global South. In both charting and challenging the rise and consolidation of colonial epistemes in studies of terrorism, this landmark text will serve as a crucial inflection point. A must-read.'
Gabe Mythen, Professor of Criminology, University of Liverpool

'Refreshingly, this important book draws upon case studies from Egypt, India, Pakistan, as well France, Norway, Britain and the USA - decentring 9/11 and highlighting the colonial matrix of power which structures policing, racialised othering and counterterrorism powers across the globe. A wonderful and varied volume which should make an appearance on every course list.'
Charlotte Heath-Kelly, Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick

Twenty years since the 9/11 terror attacks and the start of the global war on terror, counter-terrorism policies in multiple iterations continue to permeate everyday life across the world. Yet, there is little scholarship that draws out the conceptual links between the practice of counter-terrorism in the global North and the global South. Inspired by decolonial approaches to the study of politics and international relations, this collection aims to unsettle the Western, Eurocentric hegemony in scholarship on counter-terrorism. It illustrates how counter-terrorism policies and practices are closely tethered to particular negotiations with imperial legacies and colonial modes of knowledge about the law, politics and terror.
