Islamophobia is the name given to the virulent anti-Islamic
prejudice that has been hyped by the news media and seized upon by
cynical politicians. Five essays by six specialists on Islam in
America provide important insights into Islamophobia as a conflict
over American identity during a time of crisis. The authors clarify
the way that differences of religion, race, and gender have been
used to portray Muslims as threatening "out-groups," just as other
minorities (Catholics, Jews, blacks) have been attacked in the
past. The result is a valuable and thought-provoking analysis of
the tactics for denying full citizenship to a minority religious
group.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Islamophobia in America offers new perspectives on prejudice
against Muslims, which has become increasingly widespread in the
USA in the past decade. The contributors document the history of
anti-Islamic sentiment in American culture, the scope of organized
anti-Muslim propaganda, and the institutionalization of this kind
of intolerance.
