At the Limits of Justice: Women of Colour on Terror: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "At the Limits of Justice: Women of Colour on Terror" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
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.

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, thirty 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.

SUVENDRINI PERERA AND SHERENE H. RAZACK
This anthology began in response to a documentary aired in Britain on Channel 4 that showed shocking and in our experience unprecedented levels of terror against civilians. The images had been recorded as trophy shots and battlefield memorabilia by the victors in the final battle between the Sri Lankan state and the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). In the wake of that documentary, we, as academics in the global North, began to ask a series of questions about how to respond to such scenes of horror, especially when international institutions and our own governments were silent. This official silence was all the more striking because it contrasted so strongly with the pervasive discourses and representations of violence of the global War on Terror. Terror seemed to be both nowhere and all around us. To examine these issues with a range of scholars sharing similar concerns, we organized a workshop in Toronto, Canada, titled Violence in a Far Country: Women Scholars of Colour Theorize Terror. This volume is the outcome of that workshop.
