Description
Disordered Violence: How Gender, Race and Heteronormativity Structure Terrorism This book examines the relationship between terrorism and societal norms, focusing on how gender, race, and heteronormative expectations shape our understanding of terrorism. Caron Gentry explores the stories of eight well-known terrorist actors, searching for patterns of gendered, racial, and sexualized assumptions in how their stories are told. Gentry also critiques the current counterterrorism focus on radicalization, arguing that it reinforces the construction of terrorists outside of Western ideals. By challenging mainstream Terrorism Studies, the book highlights the need to address growing misogynist and racialized violence against women. Through its analysis, Disordered Violence sheds light on the complex intersections between terrorism, identity, and societal norms, offering a nuanced understanding of this complex issue.
