The Biopolitics Of The War On Terror by Julian Reid
The book analyzes how post-9/11 counterterrorism has reconfigured political power around the regulation and management of life, deploying biopolitical logics that fuse state sovereignty, humanitarian rhetoric, and securitization to produce racialized populations and new spaces of exception. It shows how neoliberal market imperatives, military force, border regimes, and surveillance technologies combine to govern populations, legitimize violence, and normalize prolonged states of emergency, while critically interrogating the ways claims to humanitarianism and human rights can enable rather than restrain such power. Drawing on Foucault, Agamben, and contemporary case studies, the work traces how the war on terror transforms governance, subjectivity, and the meaning of political life.
