Terrorist Assemblages

Homonationalism in Queer Times
Book •
Jasbir Puar's "Terrorist Assemblages" offers a critical analysis of the intersection of queer theory, postcolonial studies, and the politics of terrorism.

The book challenges conventional understandings of terrorism by examining how sexuality and gender intersect with geopolitical power dynamics.

Puar deconstructs the ways in which the figure of the 'terrorist' is constructed and deployed, revealing the underlying assumptions and biases that shape our perceptions.

The book explores the complexities of identity and power, arguing that identities are not fixed but rather fluid and contingent.

Ultimately, "Terrorist Assemblages" provides a nuanced and provocative analysis of the relationship between terrorism, sexuality, and global politics.
