Radical Skin/Moderate Mask (okładka  miękka)

The War on Terror has acted as a catalyst for a range of liberal states including the US, UK and Australia to enact a vast range of nation security measures including de-radicalisation programmes. This timely work examines the State's use of narrative to 'reform' violent political subjects, and explores how these narratives intersect with issues of immigration, border control and a post-racial era of accepting difference. It examines the racial assumptions hidden within public and institutional debates around Muslim radicals through a liberal state's appropriation of moderate Muslim voices. The book illustrates how insidiously the problem of race connects post-racially with a range of negative discourses and images conjured up by the narrative of the War on Terror.
