"The authors argue that queer, black, brown, and foreign bodies, and the so-called threats they represent, such as immigration reform and same-sex marriage, have been effectively linked with terrorism. These awful conflations … are enduring and help to explain the contradictions of contemporary U.S. politics. We are far from a post post-9/11 world." – Ronald R. Sundstrom, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, The University of San Francisco"If you want to understand how a new biopolitics of citizenship is containing bodies of the nation by re-inscribing sex and race into it and how this new biopolitics is being resisted you must read this book." – Engin F. Isin, Professor, Department of Politics and International Studies, The Open University, UK
