UNDERSTANDING PRIVATE, PUBLIC, & STRUCTURAL AMERICAN ISLAMOPHOBIA

 Khaled A. Beydoun, American Islamophobia: Understanding the Roots of Rise of Fear (Oakland: University of California Press, 2018) (From the book jacket: "The term 'Islamophobia' may be fairly new, but irrational fear and hatred of Islam and Muslims are anything but. Though many speak of Islamophobia's roots in racism, have we considered how anti-Muslim rhetoric is rooted in our legal system? [] Bedouin captures the many ways in which law, policy, and official state rhetoric have fueled the frightening resurgence of Islamophobia in the United States.").
