In Saving the Security State Inderpal Grewal traces the changing
relations between the US state and its citizens in an era she calls
advanced neoliberalism. Marked by the decline of US geopolitical
power, endless war, and increasing surveillance, advanced
neoliberalism militarizes everyday life while producing the
"exceptional citizens"-primarily white Christian men who reinforce
the security state as they claim responsibility for protecting the
country from racialized others. Under advanced neoliberalism,
Grewal shows, others in the United States strive to become
exceptional by participating in humanitarian projects that
compensate for the security state's inability to provide for the
welfare of its citizens. In her analyses of microfinance programs
in the global South, security moms, the murders at a Sikh temple in
Wisconsin, and the post-9/11 crackdown on Muslim charities, Grewal
exposes the fissures and contradictions at the heart of the US
neoliberal empire and the centrality of race, gender, and religion
to the securitized state.
