It draws on historical context as well as sophisticated theoretical arguments, and it offers a very valuable analysis of an important subject.' Professor Richard English, University of St Andrews, UK 'Fisher's theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich genealogy brings vital historical depth to existing discursive work on the politics of identity within counterterrorism policy. This outstanding new text forces readers to rethink the ways in which claims to belonging and exclusion are put together, evolve, and matter for formulating and normalising responses to terrorist violence and related security challenges.' Dr Lee Jarvis, University of East Anglia, UK 'How we perceive danger, and what we do about it, defines our identity. Fisher's book shows how we construct ourselves through the conduct of security. Using solid and clear evidence, she demonstrates that actions and statements build group identities through the process of drawing boundaries between 'us' and 'them'.'
