Under

a
detailed
portrait
of
the
fears
and
fantasies
driving
twenty-first
century
colonialism.
At
the
heart
of
anxiety
is
the
Afghan
body,
terror
in
potentia.
Controlling,
monitoring,
securitizing
and
informalizing
it
are
apparatuses
of
governance
and
development
running
on
fantasies,
willfully
blind
to
their
contradictions.
The

war
on
terror's
original

has
its

portrait.
Bojan Savic's work on global security is of notable public, scholarly, and political interest. Rooted in local fieldwork on the liminal 'postcolony' Herat, it is a timely contribution to a subject of global concern. Insightful and thought-provoking, Savic engages with the mutual, yet ambivalent co-construction and co-dependence of power and resistance. Populating the field of security studies with Heratis and their experiences of oppression, Afghanistan Under Siege visualises the mechanisms that simultaneously create resistance to, and cooperation with materialisations of power-in-the-name-of-security. The internationally-funded structural violence that is so built into, and borne out of, the geopolitical containment of Afghan bodies underlines the continuing importance of challenging the colonial past in our (post)colonial present.
