Through masterful critical scholarship Masoud Kamali brings together discourses on war, violence, racism, xenophobia, geopolitics, multiple modernities, neoliberalism and biopolitical policing. Post-colonial theorizations are deftly interwoven to evidence unequal power relations, socio-economic disparities, the human costs of war, and powerful dynamics of othering, and the implications of these for critical and radical social work pedagogy, research and practice. Persuasive reading! - Vishanthie Sewpaul, University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa A broad, insightful and provocative exploration of a series of contemporary issues that have hitherto been neglected in existing social work literature. Kamali's book challenges us to consider how war, in our current iteration of society, is as inevitable as it is deleterious for some and profitable for others... this is a significant and, most importantly, a timely addition to the literature on these issues. - David McKendrick, Glasgow Caledonian University,Scotland, Critical Social Policy
