Description
Deport, Deprive, Extradite 21st Century State Extremism by Nisha Kapoor explores how the extradition of individuals accused of terrorism-related offences reveals the darker aspects of state power. Through the stories of those affected, including Fahad Hashmi and others who were subject to prolonged detention, police brutality, and citizenship deprivation, Kapoor sheds light on the ways in which racialised subjects are dehumanised and marginalised. This book examines the disciplinary features of state power and its securitising conditions, highlighting how these cases enable intensifying authoritarianism and the diminishment of democratic systems. By drawing on these stories, Kapoor exposes the mechanisms used to expel and control certain groups, revealing a disturbing pattern of human rights abuses. A thought-provoking analysis of the intersection of security, power, and human rights, Deport, Deprive, Extradite is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of contemporary state extremism.
