102 Race & Class 60(1) are at risk of losing their connection to past struggles and forgetting their own history, her words, which emphasise the need for an active connection to the past, ring true: So often we either ignore the past or romanticise it, render the reason for unity useless or mythic. We forget that the necessary ingredient needed to make the past work for the future is our energy in the present, metabolising one into the other. Continuity does not happen automatically, nor is it a passive force. As well as connecting to history, she emphasises connecting across differences: ‘can anyone here still afford to believe that the pursuit of liberation can be the sole and particular province of any one particular race, or sex, or age, or religion, or sexuality, or class?’. In a time where internal identity politics often take prece- dence over solidarity with each other, her words feel necessary and urgent. This new edition of Lorde’s work encourages readers to synthesise her essays, poetry and speeches, ‘make the past work for the future in our energy in the present’ and actively work for transformative change. Institute of Race Relations SOPHIA SIDDIQUI Deport, Deprive and Extradite: 21 st century state extremism By NISHA KAPOOR (London: Verso, 2017), 240 pp. Hardback £16.99. Nisha Kapoor’s latest book Deport, Deprive and Extradite is terrifying. At points, it was difficult to read – cases of those impacted by citizenship removal and extra- dition were so horrific. The author intricately weaves together the way that the global counter-terrorism matrix, which has been firmly embedded in everyday life since 9/11, is based on racialised and orientalist tropes, connecting the histo- ries of colonialism to the present day. The book moves from viewing current state practices as being unique to the exceptional circumstances of the ‘war on terror’, to helping readers understand these as extensions of former disciplinary techniques. The UK’s counter-terrorism strategy has evolved enormously, especially since 9/11 and the subsequent ‘war on terror’. Various laws and measures have been introduced, ranging from hard powers such as control orders and TPIMs (Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures), to ‘softer’ approaches such as the Prevent programme, implementation of which is now mandatory in public sector institutions. Kapoor argues that the state is orchestrating a campaign of strategic violence against those accused of terrorism, whether indirectly through the enactment of certain laws or directly, through physical intervention by its agents. The book begins with an overview of counter-terrorism policies and mea- sures enacted primarily in the US and UK, going on to explore the connections between racism, citizenship, empire and terrorism.
