Basic instructions:
Read Uzma Jamil’s article “Can Muslims Fly? The No Fly List as a Toll of the ‘War on Terror’.”
Write an 800-word analysis on how the discussion of the securitization of Muslims fits within the masks of administrative evil.
Your analysis should include a short summary and at least one paraphrase (put it in italics and cite it) embedded into the analysis.
(you do not need to include the original passage for your paraphrase).
In other words:
The assignment is to be 800 words in total.
I would recommend about 500-550 words should be an analysis.
The rest should be a combination of “a short” summary and paraphrase.
The confusing part is how to structure the paper because it asks us to put a summary and paraphrase into the analysis.
To clarify things let’s use this structure that we already know:
Recommended Subheadings:
Summary
Paraphrase
Analysis
You must use Chicago author-date style of citations
Please double space.
