Unfolding Islamophobic Racism in American Fiction presents
Islamophobia as a manifestation of racism in literary texts to
understand American perspective of Islam and Muslims. By
deconstructing selected literary works of Lorrain Adams, John
Updike and Don Delillo within Fredrickson's notion of racism as
scavenger ideology, Humaira Riaz argues that fiction incorporates
racism cloaked in Islamophobia. The author concludes that
necessitating interfaith community interaction may help in
decreasing religious conflicts. Many of the Western and American
assumptions about Islam are generated from ignorance. This work
proposes a thorough discursive understanding of Islam as a code of
life.
