Reviews

'In their timely new book, Jarvis, Macdonald, and Whiting offer a rich and nuanced analysis of the vernacular understandings and experiences of counter-radicalization initiatives such as the UK’s controversial Prevent program. What emerges is a complex picture in which the language of radicalization retains conceptual resilience despite profound criticisms, and the strategy itself elicits both support and frustration from citizens who both recognize the security challenge confronted yet remain sceptical of the framework employed to address it. This book makes multiple important contributions, methodologically in its application of ‘vernacular security’, analytically in its revealing of everyday politics, and normatively in providing space for subjugated narratives on this divisive arena of public policy. It deserves to become essential reading for scholars across political science, legal studies, sociology, criminology, and beyond with interests in critical security studies, counter-terrorism, and citizenship.'
