""An original, extraordinary book. Nicholas Chan has expanded the debate over security and the role of the state by addressing the ontological root of the problem of postcolonial nation-building itself, and by doing so has offered a radically new and imaginative way of understanding the questions of security and terror in our times. This is a hugely important work."" --Farish A. Noor, Indonesian International Islamic University ""Nicholas Chan sheds new light on the complex ways in which Islam has been understood and experienced in 'counter-terror' and 'counter-radicalization' programs. Solidly grounded in its empirics and sophisticated in its analysis, this book transcends the insights of related scholarship on African contexts and makes Malaysia highly relevant for understanding Islam in world politics today.""--John T. Sidel, London School of Economics and Political Science ""Nicholas Chan's The Politics of Counter-Terror achieves the seemingly impossible feat of saying something original about both the politics of counter-terrorism and the politics of Muslim-majority states. This is a book that should travel well beyond its case study of Malaysia. A must-read."" --Ayşe Zarakol, University of Cambridge
