Dr Rhys Machold: Fabricating Homeland Security. Police Entanglements across India and Palestine/Israel (Stanford University Press, 2024). Read more about the book talks series.

In the second talk of the series, Rhys Machold discusses the police entanglements across India and Palestine/Israel and the efforts of Israel’s homeland security industry to advise and equip Indian city and state governments. Through a focus on the often unseen and overlooked political struggles at work in the making of homeland security, the book details how homeland security is a universalizing project, which seeks to remake the world in its image, and tells the story of how claims to global authority are fabricated and put to work.
