The decade since 9/11 has seen a decline in liberal tolerance in
the West as Muslims have endured increasing levels of repression.
This book presents a series of case studies from Western Europe,
Australia and North America demonstrating the transnational
character of Islamophobia. The authors explore contemporary
intercultural conflicts using the concept of moral panic,
revitalised for the era of globalisation. Exploring various sites
of conflict, Global Islamophobia considers the role played by
'moral entrepreneurs' in orchestrating popular xenophobia and in
agitating for greater surveillance, policing and cultural
regulation of those deemed a threat to the nation's security or
imagined community. This timely collection examines the
interpenetration of the global and the local in the West's cultural
politics towards Islam, highlighting parallels in the responses of
governments and in the worrying reversion to a politics of coercion
and assimilation. As such, it will be of interest to scholars of
sociology and politics with interests in race and ethnicity;
citizenship and assimilation; political communication,
securitisation and The War on Terror; and moral panics.
