‘These elegantly written and erudite essays expose the myopic and embedded character of geopolitical and statist framings and, at the same time, identify openings for a different kind of future offered by the citizen pilgrim. The critique of drone warfare and how it undermines international law is particularly devastating.’
Mary Kaldor, London School of Economics
