Afterword
This incisive and provocative special issue could not be more timely, coming in a historical moment of extreme political-legal and cultural transformations across the world, from the ostensible decline and fall of democracy in the US to international realignments and reconfigurations of power and knowledge that render genocide permissible, or at least ignorable. The rise of the MAGA movement and the Trump regime's autocratic and militarized recon…
Principled Experiments in Just Being
This article compares ideals and practices of police oversight in two very different contexts-settler colonial North America and "post" colonial South Asia-to interrogate fundamental principles underlying police oversight globally and to imagine new ways of working toward transformation. The analysis ultimately asks: how might we conceive new modes of engagement around community safety and governance in line with ideals of social justice as a glo…
Police work and the politics of expendability in India
This article examines how rank-and-file police in contemporary India express work-related grievances regarding official neglect of their well-being, systemic exploitation by government authorities and other elites, and routinized threats of bodily harm and death. It analyzes these experiences as manifestations of a ‘politics of expendability’ through which police, conceived as security laborers, are ironically condemned to exclusion from a morall…
Police worker politics in India, Brasil, and beyond
This article conceives a new conceptual framework of ‘police worker politics’ (PWP) as a means to inspire critical research on how the political significance and legitimacy of police configure concepts and practices of democratic governance. Drawing on anthropological theories and methodologies of disjunctive comparison, I consider public policing as work, and figure public police officials as political actors who mobilise around their identities…
Lawfare and Security Labor
What labor rights do police workers have? How are they legally delimited? This article addresses these questions through a case study of government responses to attempts by police constables in post/colonial South Asia to express job-related grievances and establish employee unions. Drawing on ethnographic observations, interviews, and archival documents collected in India over fifteen years, the analysis demonstrates that, for more than a centur…
States
Anthropological inquiry in much of the twentieth century, especially during the period of European colonialism, often worked directly or indirectly in service to “the state” in general and “the police” in particular. Following a critical turn in social theory and cultural studies toward “speaking truth to power” beginning in the 1970s, the anthropological gaze turned toward states and police powers as objects of analysis. The resultant work in wh…

Provisional Authority
The Sage Handbook of Global Policing
Going beyond the confines of police sociology and criminology, this book brings together global scholars from a wide range of disciplines and jurisdictions to engage with the instrumental aims of police activity, as well as with the organisations, institutions and sets of practices that comprise 'policing'
Just War
This article describes and explains "police vigilantism" as a mode of authoritative extralegal coercion performed by public police officials conceived as doing their duty to realize justice in the world. Based on ethnographic observations, interviews, and content analysis of news and entertainment media as well as official government reports, this essay examines a specific form of police vigilantism in contemporary India known as "encounter killi…
World Fitness
This article theorizes ongoing US-led global warfare as a "positive science" based in communal, familial, and humanistic values manifest in outreach practices conducted by the US Army. Analyzing the history of recruitment and recently developed resilience training and civil-military recreational programs, the article explores new concepts of humanism and global order being produced and disseminated as a praxis of persistent war
Provisional agency in India
People in India deploy a variety of euphemisms for corruption, one of which is jugaad, which refers to goal-oriented improvisation, especially the use of informal social networks to advance one's interests. But as often as it is conflated with corruption, jugaad is also conceived as necessary for "getting by" and even as virtuous practice. This ethnography of police practices in Uttar Pradesh shows how the contronymic character of jugaad emerges …
Dirty Anthropology
Dirty Anthropology
This chapter revisits some intractable questions for the anthropologist who engages violence in the field: How do we understand violence, especially state violence? How do we conduct participant-observation with interlocutors who engage in violence on a routine basis, willfully, or as part of their job description, and still maintain professional ethical standards and the directionality of our moral compass? How do we understand and negotiate the…

Beatings, Beacons, and Big Men
It is a truism that police in India generally lack legitimate authority and public trust. This lack is widely understood by scholars, policy analysts, and police practitioners as being rooted in the institution's colonial development as a means of oppression, and its alleged corruption and criminalization in the postcolonial period. The social facts of situational hyper-empowerment and the widespread decadence of police do much to explain their p…
Anthropology and Global Counterinsurgency
Global events of the early twenty-first century have placed new stress on the relationship among anthropology, governance, and war. Facing prolonged insurgency, segments of the U.S. military have taken a new interest in anthropology, prompting intense ethical and scholarly debate. Inspired by these issues, the essays in Anthropology and Global Counterinsurgency consider how anthropologists can, should, and do respond to military overtures, and th…
