In the wake of 2001, terrorism laws and their policing have been
charged with eroding civil liberties and discriminating against
Muslim and ethnic minority peoples. Traces of Terror:
Counter-Terrorism Law, Policing, and Race goes further and asks how
counter-terrorism reproduces the social relations of race: what
police and legal practice, what knowledge and what power makes
over-policing normal. Based on field work in Australia, this book
investigates the effects of counter-terrorism law and policing on
Muslim, Somali, Turkish Kurds and Sri Lankan Tamil communities.
Drawing together in-depth interviews with members of Victoria
Police and those who are being policed, participant observations of
community forums, and a detailed investigation of government and
police policy, legislation and case law, the author explains how
processes of criminalization and racialization are sustained. The
study analyses preparatory terrorism offences and 'terrorist
organization' laws, as well as the application of contentious
concepts including extremism, radicalization and
counter-radicalization. The book explains the management of
difference, identity and belonging through expanding police and
intelligence powers as well as through community policing and
multicultural social policy. Above all, this book traces the
persistence of race, racialization and racism in practices
presented, on the surface, as 'race neutral', consensual and
inclusive. From raids and prosecutions, to informal questioning and
communitarian forms of regulation, it demonstrates the enduring and
shifting meanings of these concepts as practices and their lived,
often contradictory effects on the populations who experience them.
Traces of Terror is not a study of police racism nor of experiences
of discrimination, but rather an explanation of the enduring
organisation of racial power reflected in, and produced by,
counter-terrorism.
