Description
The New Crusades: Islamophobia and the Global War on Muslims Khaled A. Beydoun's groundbreaking book examines the global phenomenon of Islamophobia, revealing how it has become a unifying thread of state and social bigotry across the world. From the American War on Terror to the hijab bans in France, state-sponsored hate speech in India, and the concentration camps in China, Beydoun sheds light on the distinct systems of demonization and oppression that Islamophobia has spawned. Through a critical and intimate analysis, Beydoun interrogates how Islamophobia acts as a global force, instigating both liberal and right-wing hate-mongering. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Islamophobia and its far-reaching consequences. By exploring the intersection of power, violence, and subordination related to Islamophobia, Beydoun offers a nuanced and poignant examination of a global menace that has spiralled out of control.
