Bloodsworth-Lugo and Lugo-Lugo (both comparative ethnic studies, Washington State U.) examine how particular bodies came to be deemed threatening and in need of containment in the wake of the events of 11 September 2001, and the discursive constructions of terrorism that unfolded. They consider the G. W. Bush administration narratives of threat and containment; same-sex marriage as domestic terrorism; bodies that resisted containment; the merger of immigration, citizenship, and same-sex marriage; constructions of threats and the Barack Obama presidential campaign; and threatening bodies in the age of Obama.
