In Saving the Security State Inderpal Grewal traces the changing relations between the US state and its citizens in an era she calls advanced neoliberalism. Marked by the decline of US geopolitical power, endless war, and increasing surveillance, advanced neoliberalism militarizes everyday life while producing the exceptional citizensprimarily white Christian men who reinforce the security state as they claim responsibility for protecting the country from racialized others. Under advanced neoliberalism, Grewal shows, others in the United States strive to become exceptional by participating in humanitarian projects that compensate for the security state's inability to provide for the welfare of its citizens. In her analyses of microfinance programs in the global South, security moms, the murders at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, and the post-9/11 crackdown on Muslim charities, Grewal exposes the fissures and contradictions at the heart of the US neoliberal empire and the centrality of race, gender, and religion to the securitized state.

"[Grewal] expertly demonstrates how, whether via militarism or humanitarianism, with both always racialized, the exceptional citizen labors to uphold US empire and the exceptionalism that justifies and rationalizes it." -- Jennifer Kelly * Radical History Review * "In this book, Grewal capturesthrough her multidisciplinary engagement with the key features of early twenty-first-century American political lifesomething important and troubling about the odd state of affairs in which we find ourselves here in the post-9/11 digital age. . . . This is a bold, brave, and forthright book." -- Tina Fernandes Botts * Hypatia Reviews Online * "[This book] deserves to find its way onto the reading lists of university departments for a variety of subjects. . . a tour de force." -- Columba Achilleos-Sarll * International Feminist Journal of Politics * "This book is a carefully crafted volume, with most impressive documentation, a critical contribution that explains the pervasiveness of the 'security mom' and its complement, a fascist near-future." -- Daniel Zirker * Australasian Journal of American Studies * "Saving the Security State is a fascinating, nuanced study of a topic that possesses an enormous amount of importance in contemporary society. ... Grewals focus on exceptional citizenship and American imperialisms at home and abroad make[s] this book exceptional." -- Joseph Michael Gratale * European Journal of American Culture *
