“…The majority of these men were suspected of terrorist connections due to their Islamic faith and nationalities, a pattern that persists in contemporary explorations between law enforcement and Muslims (Alimahomed-Wilson, 2018;Zarrugh, 2020). Their disappearances also presented social, economic and political effects on their families; including several cases of deportation due to suspicion of terrorism (Sheikh, 2011;Zarrugh, 2020).…”

“…Additionally, Alimahomed-Wilson (2018), Zarrugh (2020) and Sheikh (2011) mentioned how cases of post 9/11 disappearances in the US persist as many South Asians, Arabs, Africans and Iranians continue to be detained and surveilled. Significantly, these authors mentioned Black Muslims alongside their brown counterparts which several academics often overlook; they solely focus on brown Muslim bodies and their lived experiences.…”

<p>This literature review will draw from Black feminist scholars (Crenshaw, 1991; Browne, 2015) to explore how the imagined migrant-as-threat narrative, is a racist discourse which influences Canadian and U.S. policies and legislation such as the Travel Ban, War on Terror and Anti-Terrorism Act (Bill C-51) and constitutes a form of securitization that targets certain migrants. Specifically, securitization is the process of placing certain individuals into an identity-based profile built on racist constructs such as the “terrorist”; these individuals are categorized as criminals engaging in harmful behaviour that is allegedly threatening to society, national security, and the state. However, there are research gaps within the field of securitization. I argue that the securitization process does not encompass the intersections of Islam, gender and Blackness. I propose to integrate a critical race, intersectional and transnational feminist approach to understand how laws and policies such as Bill C-51 targets Black Muslims. Thus, these perspectives can provide a more nuanced approach to understanding the experiences of Black migrants globally undergoing the securitization process which limits their ability to travel, migrate, and navigate spaces.</p>
