ReviewsA timely contribution that deepens our understanding of the racialised, gendered, and sexualised structure of (academic) debates on, and representations of, terrorism and violence. The book outlines how race, sexuality, and gender are implicated in security discourses and shows why security studies must take an intersectional, feminist, queer, and critical race analytic seriously. ... It serves as a provocation for scholars to do better and more intersectional work that attends to the racialised-sexualised-gendered foundations of international relations; both small and large caps. It is a lesson in how to do outstanding intersectional feminist work that should be emulated. Disordered Violence reiterates how it is no longer acceptable to say 'I am not asking the gender (or race, or sexuality) question' when these are baked into (the study of) international politics., In this book, Gentry sheds some light on how and why terrorism is problematic in international politics. The disorder of terrorism challenges the dominant system and this violence needs to be seen as irrational, illegitimate and immoral. Gentry's reflection is therefore crucial to rethink Terrorism Studies and, above all, Critical Terrorism Studies [CTS] ...Her intersectional feminist analysis will thus help CTS not only to deconstruct hegemonic discourses of (counter-)terrorism but understand how and why certain violence is accepted - and even legitimated - while other kinds are not ... Gentry's reflection on the hegemonies constituting the international order is a timely and enriching contribution to CTS, one that needs to be put at the core of critical understandings of terrorism aimed at shedding light on the dimensions of power structuring political violence., Once again pushing at the boundaries of military, security and feminist security studies, Gentry's analysis exposes the 'wilful forgettings' of race, gender and sexuality that underpin the so-called 'War on Terror'. Exposing the ways in which violence is ordered in global politics, she demands an intersectional awakening from a collective aphasia in both scholarship and practice of global security politics that sustain a hierarchy of insecurities.?
