Review Quotes:
'The contributors to Critical Security Methods show us why talking about methods is engaging. All of us digging into security's myriad manifestations puzzle over what we are doing out there in the mythical "field". Here is a book that joins us in that candid, valuable puzzling.' -- Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, MA, USA
'Breaking free from the conventional strictures of methodology, Critical Security Methods offers readers a wonderful panoply of new approaches for thinking about method, methods and methodology.... A generous service to the community of scholars engaged in thinking through the aporias of contemporary security policy.' -- Stefan Elbe, University of Sussex, UK
'Through three distinct moves that complicate rather than separate the relations between theory and method, this book offers a new critical sensibility to questions of method. By providing an analytic framework that attends to methods as practices, experiments and performative, it is not only relevant to CSS but critical methods in the social sciences more generally.' -- Evelyn Ruppert, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK
