"Islamophobia" is a term that has been widely applied to
anti-Muslim ideas and actions, especially since 9/11. The
contributors to this provocative volume explore and critique the
usefulness of the concept for understanding contexts ranging from
the Middle Ages to the modern day. Moving beyond familiar
explanations such as good Muslim/bad Muslim stereotypes or the
"clash of civilizations," they describe Islamophobia's counterpart,
Islamophilia, which deploys similar oppositions in the interest of
fostering public acceptance of Islam. Contributors address topics
such as conflicts over Islam outside and within Muslim communities
in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia; the
cultural politics of literature, humor, and urban renewal; and
religious conversion to Islam.
