Who Are We, Where Are We, and What Can We Do? The “Place” of Localized Activism in the Global Extraordinary Rendition and Torture Program.

- Abstract
In this essay, I examine a case of localized activism in the context of the globalized extraordinary rendition and torture program. I argue that the activists’ carefully crafted rhetoric highlighting “place” allowed them to construct a collective identity for local citizens in North Carolina—one that was imbued with agency because of their situatedness in a particular place in a global network. By determining who we are, as connected to where we are, we can determine what we can do.
