New Racial Missions of Policing

It pushes analytical and theoretical boundaries by examining racialization and ethnicization in locations where the topic is politically taboo such as in China India and France and where racial and ethnic hierarchies have supposedly been banished to the past as in Bosnia and South Africa.</p><p>This book also examines police and security services not as mere artefacts of state authority or the prerogatives of capitalist development but as relatively autonomous and uniquely productive intersections of new kinds of state social and cultural formations that are remaking race embodiment fear and control on their own terms.</p><p>This book was published as a special issue of <em>Ethnic and Racial Studies</em>.</p>
