Islamophobia is one of the most prevalent forms of prejudice in the
world today. This timely book reveals the way in which
Islamophobia's pervasive power is being met with responses that
challenge it and the worldview on which it rests. The volume breaks
new ground by outlining the characteristics of contemporary
Islamophobia across a range of political, historic, and cultural
public debates in Europe and the United States. Chapters examine
issues such as: how anti-Muslim prejudice facilitates questionable
foreign and domestic policies of Western governments; the tangible
presence of anti-Muslim bias in media and the arts including a
critique of the global blockbuster fantasy series Game of Thrones;
youth activism in response to securitised Islamophobia in
education; and activist forms of Muslim self-fashioning including
Islamic feminism, visual art and comic strip superheroes in popular
culture and new media. Drawing on contributions from experts in
history, sociology, and literature, the book brings together
interdisciplinary perspectives from culture and the arts as well as
political and policy reflections. It argues for an inclusive
cultural dialogue through which misrepresentation and
institutionalised Islamophobia can be challenged.
