A name was banned. Nothing more!’
Calls for governments to proscribe white supremacist actors as ‘terrorists’ have increased in recent years, yet little attention has been paid to whether proscription of such actors ‘works’ and what consequences may arise from expanding counterterrorism apparatuses in this way. What happens when states bring violent white supremacist organisations under the counterterrorism umbrella? Using original data on Germany’s 70-year practice of banning wh…
Whiteness as expertise in studies of the far right
This article addresses backlash from white academic gatekeepers to research on the white far right and white supremacist violence.Centrally, I interrogate how whiteness shapes the field's response to a seeming shift in patterns of political violence towards white supremacist activity.Taking white supremacy in the study of white supremacist violence seriously, I contend, would shift our attention to larger social patterns of oppression and opportu…

Racism by Designation
How can we make sense of Western states’ nondesignation of white supremacists as terrorists compared to other actors engaged in similar political violence? This article offers three arguments and supports them with rich case studies of designation in the United States and the United Kingdom. First, the racially disparate impact of designations can be understood as a form of institutional racism. Second, within the Western racial order, Arabs/Musl…
Terror as justice, justice as terror
How do counterterrorism policies in the United States reproduce anti-Black racism? Research on U.S. domestic counterterrorism post-9/11 has largely focused on the experiences of Muslim Americans while marginalising both overlapping and separate effects of counterterrorism policy on non-Muslim people of colour, particularly non-Muslim Black communities. I argue that domestic counterterrorism policy, as an act of determining what kinds of political…
The Idea of Terror
Despite the recent global uptick in white supremacist terrorism, governments continue to face accusations of not taking the threat seriously, either discursively or in terms of policy responses. Why do acts of white supremacist violence consistently fail to constitute turning points for policy change? Rather than considering acts of political violence as critical junctures for change, I argue that such acts instead reveal how persistent instituti…
