Description
Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics by Nazia Kazi offers a powerful exploration of the complex relationship between Islamophobia, racism, and global politics. This book challenges prevailing understandings of Islamophobia as a singular issue, instead revealing it to be a symptom of deeper systemic racism in the US. Through years of ethnographic fieldwork with Muslim American organizations, Kazi sheds light on how diversity and inequality among Muslims in the US shape their experiences of Islamophobia and racism. The author's research highlights the ways in which certain groups within the Muslim community are disproportionately affected by racism, while others hold positions of power to speak out against it. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the roots of US racism, tracing its connections to economic and foreign policy practices. With its engaging blend of historical analysis, personal stories, and commentary on contemporary politics, Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics is a thought-provoking exploration of a critical issue that remains relevant today.
