In recent years, security actors have become increasingly concerned with health issues. This book reveals how understandings of race, sexuality and gender are produced/reproduced through healthcare policy. Analysing the plasma of paid Mexicana/o donors in the US, airport vomit in Ebola epidemics and the semen of soldiers with genitourinary injuries, this book shows how security practices focus upon governing bodily fluids.Using a variety of critical scholarship – feminist technoscience, queer studies and critical race studies – this book uses fluids to reveal unequal distributions of life and death.

“This book embodies the very best of what a queerfeminist curiosity has to offer global politics – unlikely sites and subjects of biopolitical (in)security and how they are inflected through and rub against race, gender and sexuality. By following bodily fluids – plasma, vomit and semen – the book takes the reader on a slippery ride through the messy assemblages of security practices to creatively meditate on what this means for the entangled distribution of life and death in the everyday. A must-read for students and scholars interested in subverting the discipline and creatively thinking otherwise.” Cristina Masters, University of Manchester
