As racist undercurrents in many western societies become manifestly
entrenched, the prevalence of Islamophobia - and the need to
understand what perpetuates it - has never been greater. Critiquing
the arguments found in notionally left accounts and addressing the
limitations of existing responses, What is Islamophobia?
demonstrates that Islamophobia is not simply a product of abstract,
or discursive, ideological processes, but of concrete social,
political and cultural actions undertaken in the pursuit of certain
interests. The book centres on what the editors refer to as the
'five pillars of Islamophobia': the institutions and machinery of
the state; the far right, incorporating the counterjihad movement;
the neoconservative movement; the transnational Zionist movement;
and assorted liberal groupings including the pro-war left, and the
new atheist movement. The book concludes with reflections on
existing strategies for tackling Islamophobia, considering what
their distinctive approaches mean for fighting back.
