Book Synopsis Islamophobia/Islamophilia by : Andrew Shryock

Download or read book Islamophobia/Islamophilia written by Andrew Shryock and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Islamophobia" is a term that has been widely applied to anti-Muslim ideas and actions, especially since 9/11. The contributors to this provocative volume explore and critique the usefulness of the concept for understanding contexts ranging from the Middle Ages to the modern day. Moving beyond familiar explanations such as good Muslim/bad Muslim stereotypes or the "clash of civilizations," they describe Islamophobia's counterpart, Islamophilia, which deploys similar oppositions in the interest of fostering public acceptance of Islam. Contributors address topics such as conflicts over Islam outside and within Muslim communities in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia; the cultural politics of literature, humor, and urban renewal; and religious conversion to Islam.
