SASNET Book Talk: "Fabricating Homeland Security: Police Entanglements across India and Palestine/Israel"

Rhys Machold

Rhys Machold visited Lund for a book talk on "Fabricating Homeland Security: Police Entanglements across India and Palestine/Israel".

In collaboration with the Centre for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies (CMES), SASNET hosted a book talk with Dr. Rhys Machold (University of Glasgow) at Finngatan 16.

The book Fabricating Homeland Security by Rhys Machold locates homeland security as a universalizing transnational project of contemporary capitalism and empire, staged through ongoing practices and encounters across time and space. It tells this story by weaving together fragments gathered through more than a decade of ethnographic research across Palestine/Israel, India and the UK. It traces the political fallout of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, often known as “India’s 9/11” or simply “26/11”, concentrating on the efforts of Israel’s homeland security to advise and equip Indian city and state governments. 

Dr. Rhys Machold is a scholar of policing, security regimes, racialization and empire, working from a transnational approach. His work has focused primarily on India and Palestine/Israel and relations between them.
