Pacifying the Homeland: Intelligence Fusion and Mass Supervision
Brendan McQuade
The United States has poured over a billion dollars into a network of
interagency intelligence centers called “fusion centers.” These centers
were ostensibly set up to prevent terrorism, but politicians, the press,
and policy advocates have criticized them for failing on this account.
So why do these security systems persist? Pacifying the Homeland travels
inside the secret world of intelligence fusion, looks beyond the
apparent failure of fusion centers, and reveals a broader shift away
from mass incarceration and toward a more surveillance- and
police-intensive system of social regulation.
Provided with
unprecedented access to domestic intelligence centers, Brendan McQuade
uncovers how the institutionalization of intelligence fusion enables
decarceration without fully addressing the underlying social problems at
the root of mass incarceration. The result is a startling analysis that
contributes to the debates on surveillance, mass incarceration, and
policing and challenges readers to see surveillance, policing, mass
incarceration, and the security state in an entirely new light.
