| Summary/Abstract |
The Apartheid South African state crafted Coloured racial identities through a powerful racial project that signified and positioned them as a group that was both neither and between White and Black. Non-Racialism in post-Apartheid South Africa has, however, loosened the role of the state in making race. So how has the transition of the state impacted ‘Coloured’ racial identities today? Informed by both macro-level theories of racial formation and micro-level theories of racial identities, I examine racial identity choices as constrained by the state among 50 adults. I find identities choices are influenced by transformations in the racial state: racialisation via reappropriating ‘Coloured’; re-formation and joining of ‘Black’; racial uplift construction as ‘Khoisan’; and a non-racialist approach to identity as ‘Human’. I argue transformations of the racial state shape, or even lead to, a transition in racial identities and therefore clarify theorises of co-constructed racial identity formations.

| Summary/Abstract |
In April 2009, 12 men were arrested by the North-West Counter-Terrorism Unit on suspicion of participating in terrorism-related offences and plotting a major attack in North West England. Within 13 days of their arrest after no evidence was found against them, the charges were dropped, but 10 of them, all Pakistani nationals, remained in detention charged with violating their immigration status, and one of the students, Abid Naseer, has been called for extradition to the United States. This article presents the case of the North West Ten as an exemplar of the War on Terror on Britain's shores, exploring the territorial inscriptions of colonising power as they play out in the metropole. It highlights the importance of rooting analyses concerning the treatment of Muslim subjects in the War on Terror within (post)colonial and imperial racial governmentalities.
