This volume investigates the limitations of mainstream terrorism research and proposes a new, reflexive, and emancipatory research agenda for the field. The editors, Richard Jackson, Marie Breen Smyth, and Jeroen Gunning, assemble a collection of scholars to critique the traditional state-centric and security-focused paradigms that have dominated terrorism studies since 9/11. By integrating perspectives from anthropology, social movement theory, and gender studies, the authors argue for a more ethical and politically aware approach to understanding political violence.
