Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- Introduction: Welcome to the Grey -- CHAPTER 1 The Structural Signifi cation of Terrorism -- CHAPTER 2 Intersecting Terrorism Studies -- CHAPTER 3 Strange Bedfellows: What Happens When We Ask the Other Question? -- CHAPTER 4 Ir/rationality: Radicalisation, ‘Black Extremism’ and Prevent Tragedies -- CHAPTER 5 What Does Not Get Counted: Misogynistic Terrorism -- Conclusion: Disordered Violence -- INDEX
Summary: A feminist interrogation of how terrorism is constructed as a violence that upsets the order of international politicsStrongly critiques ‘radicalisation’ by looking at UK Prevent and Prevent TragediesConducts 8 profiles of various terrorist actors, including Andreas Baader, Bernardine Dohrn, Leila Khaled, Dhanu, Anders Breivik, Nidal Hasan and Aafia SiddiquiDiscusses the mass shooters Elliot Rodger, Dylann Roof and Anders Breivik in relation to misogynistic terrorismProvides an intersectional feminist critique of terrorism studiesDisordered Violence looks at how gender, race, and heteronormative expectations of public life shape Western understandings of terrorism as irrational, immoral and illegitimate. Caron Gentry examines the profiles of 8 well-known terrorist actors. Gentry looks for gendered, racial, and sexualised assumptions in how their stories are told. Additionally, she interrogates how the current counterterrorism focus upon radicalisation is another way of constructing terrorists outside of the Western ideal. Finally, the book argues that mainstream Terrorism Studies must contend with the growing misogynist and racialised violence against women.
