My latest book review is out – The rise of global Islamophobia in the War on Terror: Coloniality, race, and Islam by Naved Bakali and Farid Hafez (eds.) 2020. This edited volume explores the colonial past and questions of race in relation to Islamophobia all around the world. The authors take a critical view of the established institutions and probe their engagement in creating and perpetuating Islamophobia. They dissect the role of media, politics, and religion in contributing to the spread of Islamaphobia, cooling out well-known media outlets and politicians. The book is a great read for anyone to get a good understanding of the state of Islamaphiba today, as much as how and why it came to be. Highly recommend!
