A feminist interrogation of how terrorism is constructed as a violence that upsets the order of international politics. Disordered 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, looking for gendered, racial, and sexualisedassumptions 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 growingmisogynist and racialised violence against women. | Disordered Violence by Caron Gentry, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
