'Clara Eroukhmanoff has conducted a superb linguistic analysis of the ways in which covert forms of anti-Muslim racism inform the securitization of Islam. A deeply erudite and interdisciplinary study, this book offers a nuanced analysis of the interplay between various security actors' methods of constructing Islam and Muslims within a security framework. It offers valuable insights for scholars of anti-Muslim racism and Security Studies.' Professor Deepa Kumar, Associate professor of Journalism and Media Studies, Rutgers University 'Eroukhmanoff delivers an intriguing and original study of Countering Violent Extremism operations in the United States. Her book is motivated by the clash between the careful rhetoric of several Presidents, which strives to maintain plausible deniability of racism, and the infiltration of mosques and Islamic community centres across the U.S. by CVE networks. Through interviews with CVE practitioners, Eroukhmanoff delivers an important analysis of how the field indirectly securitises Muslims through language, sting operations and affective governance. The book then steps beyond conventional risk-based epistemology to pose the question of counter-radicalisation through a quantum social science lens.' Dr Charlotte Heath-Kelly, Reader in International Security, University of Warwick 'This is an impressive and mature work of critical analysis. Elegantly argued, insightful and impeccably timed, it makes a major contribution to our growing understanding of racial politics and Islamophobia in contemporary American society. Impressively, in its dissection and analysis of the indirect securitisation of Islam in American political discourse, it adds a new layer of correction and sophistication to current versions of securitisation theory. A major step forward in security analysis, I highly recommend this book.' Professor Richard Jackson, University of Otago, New Zealand -- .
