The 'War on Terror' ushered in a new era of anti-Muslim bias and
racism. Anti-Muslim racism, or Islamophobia, is influenced by local
economies, power structures and histories. However, the War on
Terror, a conflict undefined by time and place, with a homogenised
Muslim 'Other' framed as a perpetual enemy, has contributed towards
a global Islamophobic narrative. This edited international volume
examines the connections between interpersonal and institutional
anti-Muslim racism that have contributed to the growth and
emboldening of nativist and populist protest movements globally. It
maps out categories of Islamophobia, revealing how localised
histories, conflicts and contemporary geopolitical realities have
textured the ways that Islamophobia has manifested across the
global North and South. At the same time, it seeks to highlight
activism and resistance confronting Islamophobia. -- .
In the last decade, Islamophobia in Western societies, where
Muslims constitute the minority, has been studied extensively.
However, Islamophobia is not restricted to the geography of the
West, but rather constitutes a global phenomenon. It affects Muslim
societies just as much, due to various historical, economic,
political, cultural and social reasons. Islamophobia in Muslim
Majority Societies constitutes a first attempt to open a debate
about the understudied phenomenon of Islamophobia in Muslim
majority societies. An interdisciplinary study, it focuses on
socio-political and historical aspects of Islamophobia in Muslim
majority societies. This volume will appeal to students, scholars
and general readers who are interested in Racism Studies,
Islamophobia Studies, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
region, Islam and Politics.
Books on aspects of Islamophobia have been proliferating in the
past decade but so are the instances of this phenomenon worldwide.
The diverse aspects of the issue; the complicated sociopolitical
nature of concerns in this regard; and the increasing number of
geographical settings where the issue is relevant, cause numerous
problems and questions that remain far from exhausted even in the
case of multiple treatments of similar topics and contexts.
Therefore, faces and facets of Islamophobia in different countries
around the world need to be extensively explored, and awareness
should be raised on the part of Muslim communities, Western
populations, and non-Western non-Muslims. Chapters of this volume,
written by authorities on Islamophobia from around the world,
examine various instances of the topic and explore different
discursive contexts such as media coverage and manipulation;
political debates and discourses; and general attitudes and
attitude-building in the public sphere. The book aims to further
extend and expand discussions on the issue and to highlight some
hitherto less discussed concerns.

Das Buch prasentiert einen Abriss der Ideengeschichte des
islamisch-politischen Denkens von al-Farabi uber Ibn Khaldun und
Ibn Taymiyya bis hin zu al-Afghani, Hasan al-Banna, Muhammad Asad,
Khomeini, Nasr Hamid Abu Zaid, Yusuf al-Qaradawi und Elijah
Muhammad. Das Werk arbeitet die Vielschichtigkeit des politischen
Denkens im islamischen Bezugsraum heraus und zeigt auf, wie das
intellektuelle, soziale und politische Umfeld das jeweilige Denken
der einzelnen Persoenlichkeiten pragte und wie damit ein Wandel
zentraler Begriffe einherging. Der Autor fuhrt in das Leben und
Wirken von knapp 20 Persoenlichkeiten ein und stellt dabei zentrale
Begriffe vor, die das jeweilige Denken pragen. Die Verwendung von
Originaltexten bietet hierbei einen authentischen Einblick.
