&ldquo The modern security state is more decried than understood, which makes Job/Security such an invaluable book. A fascinating and intimate look at the security industry at the human level.&rdquo &mdash Phil Klay, National Book Award&ndash winning author of Redeployment and Uncertain Ground &ldquo Danny Goodwin and Edward Schwarzschild have crafted a fascinating portrait of the ever-expanding state of American security, shining a bright light on the people who labor in this field. Job/Security is an essential and necessary read, masterfully done.&rdquo &mdash Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize&ndash winning author of Devil in the Grove &ldquo An unusual, highly entertaining way to visualize and ponder the vast, deeply entrenched, often invisible nature of the ever-growing US security state.&rdquo &mdash Dana Priest, two-time Pulitzer Prize&ndash winning journalist coauthor of Top Secret America &ldquo Goodwin and Schwarzschild have compiled an extraordinary and unique document, often empathetic and neutral while also depicting dark, enigmatic, inaccessible sites.&rdquo &mdash James Casebere, artist &ldquo A truly distinctive work, both for its content and for the range of voices and agendas that come to the fore.&rdquo &mdash Harvey Molotch, author of Against Security &ldquo Goodwin and Schwarzschild offer creative and original approaches to understanding and critically analyzing security work. By focusing on the accounts and experiences of security workers, we come to know the world of security from the inside and with new depth and detail.&rdquo &mdash Marieke de Goede, Professor of Politics, University of Amsterdam author of Speculative Security &ldquo The first-person narratives in this book humanize the people who often appear to us citizens as uniforms only&mdash as representatives of a larger, seemingly singular system. Their reflections offer us ways to question the systems they uphold, and by doing so, allow us to rethink the kind of systems we want to build.&rdquo &mdash Jill Magid, artist, writer, and filmmaker.
