"This is an important, timely, and intellectually dazzling intervention. It combines exhilarating readings of a range of contemporary works of theory, fiction, and film with a combative and beautifully written presentation of the post/neocolonial conditions from which those materials have sprung. The belligerent, geopolitical unconscious of the era of endless war is anatomized here in all its appalling conceit."—Paul Gilroy, author of Darker than Blue: On the Moral Economies of Black Atlantic Culture
" Security and Terror stages a resistance: it refuses to monumentalize the attacks of 9/11 or to isolate in history the endless war that has followed. In doing so, the book puts forth a countervailing truth. In the shadow of no towers lie the ruins of our colonial past, a history of depredation. A corrective reading, necessary and illuminating."—Amitava Kumar, author of A Foreigner Carrying in the Crook of His Arm a Tiny Bomb
"In this thoughtful study, Eli Jelly-Schapiro places the War on Terror in relation to the longer history of primitive accumulation, racial capitalism, and state violence that is colonial modernity. A significant contribution."—Lisa Lowe, author of The Intimacies of Four Continents
