This book is concerned with the ideology of Islamophobia as a
cultural racism, and argues that in order to understand its
prevalence we must focus not only on what Islamophobia is, but also
why diversely situated individuals and groups choose to employ its
narratives and tropes. Since 2001, Muslims in Britain have been
constructed as the nation's significant 'other' - an internal and
external enemy that threatened both social cohesion and national
security. Through a consideration of a number of pertinent
contemporary issues, including no-mosque campaigns, the rise of
anti-Islamist social movements and the problematisation of Muslim
culture, this book offers a new understanding of Islamophobia as a
form of Eurocentric spatial dominance, in which those identified as
Western receive a better social, economic and political 'racial
contract', and seek to defend these privileges against real and
imagined Muslim demands.
