This book addresses âcontainmentâ as it relates to interlocking discourses around the âWar on Terrorâ as a global effort and its link to race and sexuality within the United States. The project emerged from the recognition that the events of 11 September 2001, prompted new efforts at containment with both domestic and international implications.
