Abstract
We are interested in the politics of stigmatised bodies at the intersection
of race and gender, seen as threats and/or victims. Using the case study of
Kenya, this essay examines how the recent history of the War on Terror
and counter-terrorism measures have shaped policy, practice, and scholarship
on security to brand Black Muslim Women in Kenya as terrorist
suspects. It asks how Black Muslim women are alienated in security studies
due to their gender, race, religion, and class.
