This book uses Securitisation Theory to explore how Muslims have
been constructed as a security issue in Africa after the 9/11
attacks in the United States. These attacks became the rationale
for the US's Global War on Terror (GWOT). The centrality of Africa
as an arena to execute the GWOT is the focus of this book. This
book explores, particularly, how western-centred security
discourses around Muslims has permeated South African security
discourse in the post-apartheid period. It claims that the popular
press and the local think-tank community were critical
knowledge-sites that imported rather than interrogated debates
which have underpinned policy-initiatives such as the GWOT. Such
theorisation seems contrary to the original architects of
securitisation theory who maintain that issues become security
concerns when institutional voices declare these as such. However,
this book confirms that non-institutional voices have securitised
the African Muslims by equating them with terrorism. This book
illustrates that such securitisation reproduces partisan knowledge
that promote Western interests.
