Besieged life

I have begun to assemble a theory of besieged life, a Muslim biopolitical subject that faces death on two fronts: a biopolitical front characterized by exclusion from education, employment, housing, healthcare, and so forth and a subjective front characterized by the devitalization of her tawhidic subjectivity. My research seeks to investigate the production process of besieged life in various sites such as borders, prisons, streets, and workplaces. I am currently examining how besieged life is produced in relation to anti-Muslim, racial violence on the street and its intersections with schooling practice.
