About this product
Product Information
Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics is a powerful introduction to the scope of Islamophobia in the U.S. Drawing on examples such as the legacy of Barack Obama, the mainstream media's portrayal of Muslims, and the justifications given for some of America's most recent military endeavors, author Nazia Kazi highlights the vast impact of Islamophobia, connecting this to a long history of US racism. Kazi shows how American Islamophobia and racism are at once domestic-occurring within the borders of the United States-and global-a matter of foreign policy and global politics. Using Islamophobia as a unique case study, Kazi asks the reader to consider how war and empire-building relate to racism. The book sheds light on the diverse experiences of American Muslims, especially the varying ways they have experienced Islamophobia, and confronts some of the misguided attempts to tackle this Islamophobia.

Kazi's book [is] necessary reading for any American invested in real transformation of this country . . . This is a book to read, to study, to share, and to take to heart in our current moment and the months to come--months sure to be dominated by a flurry of placating and distracting rhetoric, from all points of the political spectrum, promising to topple certain megaphones and change certain tones of public discourse. Kazi reminds us to think historically, situating the current moment within a deeper trajectory and always keeping in mind how today's taken for granted categories and inequalities came to be produced., Nazia Kazi's Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics is a devastating critique of the prevailing ways that Americans talk about Muslims, especially liberals who apparently mean well. Kazi makes her case elegantly and persuasively; her frustration is palpable and engaging. Anyone who thinks they have something worthwhile to say about Islamophobia in the United States should read this book first., With Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics, Nazia Kazi has written a beautifully indignant takedown of why thinking about anti-Muslim bigotry merely as individual prejudice is both wrongheaded and dangerous. Instead, Kazi draws the necessary connections between contemporary Islamophobia and the corrosive effects of American power, at home and abroad. Perhaps most importantly, she demands that we do the same., . . . a powerful introduction to the scope of Islamophobia in the US . . . using Islamophobia as a unique case study, Kazi asks readers to consider how war and empire-building relate to racism., With Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics, Nazia Kazi has written a beautifully indignant take down of why thinking about anti-Muslim bigotry merely as individual prejudice is both wrongheaded and dangerous. Instead, Kazi draws the necessary connections between contemporary Islamophobia and the corrosive effects of American power, at home and abroad. Perhaps most importantly, she demands that we do the same., Nazia Kazi's Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics is a brilliant and powerful meditation on the intersection and interaction of Islamophobia, racism, and U.S. imperial state power. This book seeks to reorient our understanding of Islamophobia from a phenomenon centered on individual attitudes and perceptions of hate, to one which is indelibly entrenched to the structural logics of modern state sovereignty, and to the long-running history of racism in the U.S. Another distinctive feature of this book lies in its sustained and nuanced analysis of liberal Islamophobia in varied social and political domains, that tethers the promise of being categorized as "good Muslim" to the endorsement and celebration of American exceptionalism. Combining methods and perspectives from anthropology, visual studies, race studies, and political studies, this thoroughly interdisciplinary book is also eminently accessible and written beautifully, rendering it particularly suitable for courses on modern Islam, Race and Religion, Islam in America, among many other topics., Nazia Hasan Kazi's book is a masterful treatment of how anti-Muslim racism functions in the United States. Punctuated throughout by the voices of various Muslim Americans, Kazi demolishes the taken-for-granted narratives about Muslim Americans by locating them within a rich history of US domination and by critically scrutinizing ethnonationalism and white supremacy. She shows that Muslim Americans are not a monolith and that they are fractured along lines of race, class, and immigration status. Given this state of affairs, Kazi adopts a critical stance not only towards Muslims who function as cheerleaders for empire, but also towards the Islamophilia of mainstream Muslim American organizations. By privileging the ideal upper class and professional Muslim, this form of Islamophilia creates 'deserving' and 'undeserving' Muslims, she argues. Perhaps most importantly, Kazi shows how Trump-era Islamophobia is not an aberration but the outgrowth of the politics of previous decades. You will learn something from it whether you are new to the topic or a veteran scholar. A passionate, scholarly and well written book, it is a must-read for all who wish to combat anti-Muslim racism., Nazia Hasan Kazi's book is a masterful treatment of how anti-Muslim racism functions in the United States. Kazi shows how Trump-era Islamophobia is not an aberration but the outgrowth of the politics of previous decades and US policy at home and abroad. She further explores how not to fight Islamophobia. Muslim Americans are not a monolith but are fractured along lines of race, class, and immigration status. Given this state of affairs, Kazi adopts a critical stance not only towards Muslims who function as cheerleaders for empire but also towards the Islamophilia of mainstream Muslim American organizations. By privileging the ideal upper class and professional Muslim, this form of Islamophilia creates 'deserving' and 'undeserving' Muslims, she argues. You will learn something from it whether you are new to the topic or a veteran scholar. A passionate, scholarly and well-written book, it is a must-read for all who wish to combat anti-Muslim racism., In this fascinating little volume, Kazi (anthropology, Stockton Univ.) successfully demonstrates that Islamophobia is not just a response to 9/11 or other violence in the name of Islam, but rather a complicated set of attitudes and behaviors accompanying aggressive Western government actions in the Islamic world and endemic racism in the US and elsewhere. Attempts to refute the underlying assumptions of Islamophobia by "educating" non-Muslims about fundamental Islamic beliefs--e.g., pointing out that those beliefs do not include harming innocents and that a very small number of adherents engage in violence--seem to have been to no avail. Non-Muslim leaders, including US presidents, have appealed to the broad population by extolling the many positive contributions made to society by Muslim citizens, but such appeals have not alleviated the situation. After all, Muslim society is fractured along the same lines one sees in the US and elsewhere: class, wealth, education, ethnicity, piety, and so on. Kazi argues that white supremacy is at the heart of the problem, and that confronting it is important for overcoming the essential racism of Islamophobia. Though this seems overly simplistic, given the author's sweeping analysis readers will certainly want to ponder the issues so cogently raised here.
