The fear and violence that followed the events of September 11, 2001 touched lives all around the world, even in places that few would immediately associate with the global war on terror. In At the Limits of Justice, twenty-nine contributors from six countries explore the proximity of terror in their own lives and in places ranging from Canada and the United States to Jamaica, Palestine/Israel, Australia, Guyana, Chile, Pakistan, and across the African continent.
In this collection, female scholars of colour – including leading theorists on issues of indigeneity, race, and feminism – examine the political, social, and personal repercussions of the war on terror through contributions that range from testimony and poetry to scholarly analysis. Inspired by both the personal and the global impact of this violence within the war on terror, they expose the way in which the war on terror is presented as a distant and foreign issue at the same time that it is deeply present in the lives of women and others all around the world.
An impassioned but rigorous examination of issues of race and gender in contemporary politics, At the Limits of Justice is also a call to create moral communities which will find terror and violence unacceptable.

“This rich and thoughtful edited volume challenges us to think through the meaning of terror, its everyday affects and effects, its echoes across the ocean, its memories and commemorations, and the circuits of power and politics through which it travels. The authors use their ‘racialized and gendered positioning in [their] current locations’ to theorize the interconnections between different sites and bodies subjected to terror. The collection is remarkably coherent, an imaginative, thought-provoking, and committed work of scholarship and politics.”
