Book excerpt: In a post-Brexit Britain wracked by multiple crises, citizenship entitlements grow increasingly precarious. 'Britishness' is a way of understanding the nation shaped by white nationalism that acts as a powerful tool of racial bordering, separating the deserving from the undeserving. In The Violence of Britishness, Nadya Ali examines the impact of counter-terrorism on Muslims and other racially minoritized groups. Dissecting the Prevent strategy, she shows how Muslims have been compelled to reform their conduct and their faith in order to prove their 'Britishness', or risk being labeled an 'extremist' and made vulnerable to further state violence. A particular vulnerability is further enhanced when situated within broader changes in Britain such as the hostile cultural environment, austerity, the cost of living crisis, and who gets what is increasingly decided through who counts as 'British.'
