Reviews

Author Information

"Sabrina Villenave is affiliated at the University of Manchester, at the Department of Politics. Her research interest focuses on Critical Security Studies and its late critique on race and racialization. She is interested in postcolonial and decolonial critiques of International Relations, and in the legacies of African Slave Trade organized by the Portuguese Empire. Currently she is working with the themes of ""War on Drugs"" in Brazil as a legitimizer of police violence against favela dwellers, under the frame of exceptionality, security apparatus and the depoliticization of disappearances after the dictatorship in the country under the theoretical frame of necropolitics."
