Jihadi John
Polttavan ajankohtaisessa teoksessaan Robert Verkaik kertoo miten nuoresta, koulutetusta englantilaismiehestä tuli murhanhimoinen terroristi. Samalla hän sukeltaa syvälle radikalisoitumisen syihin. Verkaik on ainut ”Jihadi Johnia” milloinkaan haastatellut toimittaja. Elokuussa 2014 YouTubessa julkaistiin video, joka järkytti koko maailmaa. Siinä mustahuppuinen, täydellistä brittienglantia puhuva mies teloittaa näytöstyyliin amerikkalaisen toimittajan James Foleyn. Mustahuppuisesta miehestä tuli terroristijärjestö Isisin kasvot, ja media antaa hänelle nimen Jihadi John. Kun miehen oikea henkilöllisyys selvisi, toimittaja Verkaik järkyttyi. Kyseessä oli kuusivuotiaana perheensä mukana Lontooseen muuttanut Mohammed Emwasi, jota Verkaik oli haastatellut vuonna 2010. Tuolloin Emwasi oli kääntynyt hänen puoleensa kertoakseen, että MI5 vainosi häntä ja hänen perhettään. Seurasiko MI5 jo tuolloin vaarallisena pitämäänsä nuorta miestä, vai tekikö se Emwasista sellaisen? Robert Verkaik on englantilainen freelance-toimittaja, joka kirjoittaa Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday, Daily Mail ja Independent sanomalehtiin.

Deport, Deprive, Extradite
When Minh Pham was extradited from Britain to the US to face terrorism related charges, his appeal against the deprivation of his British citizenship was still pending. Soon after he arrived his appeal was lost and he was effectively made stateless. Pham's story is one of the many in Deport, Deprive, Extradite, illustrating the perpetual enhancement of state power and its capabilities to expel. In looking at these stories of Muslim men accused of terrorism-related offences, Nisha Kapoor exposes how these racialised subjects are dehumanized, made non-human, both in terms of how they are represented and via the disciplinary techniques used to expel them. She explores how the establishment of these non-humans enables the expansion of inhumanity more broadly, targeting Muslims, people of colour, immigrants and refugees. In asking what such cases illuminate and legitimate about precariousness and dispossession, she offers a radical analysis of the contemporary security state.
