三个典型的人物来代表“反恐战争”-“危险的”穆斯林男子，"危险的"穆斯林妇女，和“文明的”欧洲人。《驱逐》探讨了这些特征在创造民主西方国家家庭神话中的应用，这些国家被迫使用政治、军事和法律的力量来保护自己免受威胁的第三世界人口的侵害。它认为，这种神话被宣扬是为了证明将穆斯林驱逐出政治社区是合理的，这一过程采取了污名化、监视、监禁、酷刑和爆炸的形式。在这部及时而有争议的作品中，Sherene H. Razack着眼于当代西方对穆斯林的法律的和社会反应，并将其置于历史背景中。她解释了“种族思维”，一种根据种族血统将世界划分为值得和不值得的思想结构，如何使我们习惯于这样一种想法，即暂停种族化群体的权利是为了国家安全的利益。她讨论了许多排斥性和胁迫性做法的制度和实施的例子，包括虐待安全拘留者，以保护穆斯林妇女的名义对穆斯林人口进行管制，以及在阿布格莱布虐待囚犯。她探讨了欧洲人民和不同血统人民之间缺乏共同纽带如何导致字面和比喻的“营地”、自由被暂停且法治不适用的地方或机构的激增。结合丰富的理论观点和广泛的研究，驱逐作出了重大贡献，当代辩论种族和“反恐战争”及其影响领域，如法律，政治，文化研究，女权主义和性别研究，种族关系。
Three stereotypical figures have come to represent the 'war on terror' - the 'dangerous' Muslim man, the 'imperilled' Muslim woman, and the 'civilized' European. Casting Out explores the use of these characterizations in the creation of the myth of the family of democratic Western nations obliged to use political, military, and legal force to defend itself against a menacing third world population. It argues that this myth is promoted to justify the expulsion of Muslims from the political community, a process that takes the form of stigmatization, surveillance, incarceration, torture, and bombing. In this timely and controversial work, Sherene H. Razack looks at contemporary legal and social responses to Muslims in the West and places them in historical context. She explains how 'race thinking,' a structure of thought that divides up the world between the deserving and undeserving according to racial descent, accustoms us to the idea that the suspension of rights for racialized groups is warranted in the interests of national security. She discusses many examples of the institution and implementation of exclusionary and coercive practices, including the mistreatment of security detainees, the regulation of Muslim populations in the name of protecting Muslim women, and prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. She explores how the denial of a common bond between European people and those of different origins has given rise to the proliferation of literal and figurative 'camps,' places or bodies where liberties are suspended and the rule of law does not apply. Combining rich theoretical perspectives and extensive research, Casting Out makes a major contribution to contemporary debates on race and the 'war on terror' and their implications in areas such as law, politics, cultural studies, feminist and gender studies, and race relations.
