This book examines the intersecting forces of nationalism,
terrorism, and patriotism that normalize an acceptance of the
global war on terror as essential to maintaining freedom and
democracy as defined by white nation-states. Readers are introduced
to speculative ethnography: an experimental methodology that bends
time and space through the practice of avant-garde poetics. This
study conceptualizes terrorism as a place of colonial encounters
between soldiers, insurgents, civilians, and leaders of
nation-states. The tactics of suicide bombings employed by the
Tamil nationalist movement, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam,
are juxtaposed with drone strikes in asymmetric warfare where
violence becomes a means of dialogue. Each chapter weaves seemingly
disparate narratives from multiple experiences and sites of war,
inviting readers to witness the condition of getting lost in that
willful attachment to killing and being killed in service of
patriotic pride and national belonging.
