Outsiders at Home

'Outsiders at Home is a deep and expansive investigation into the nature of US Islamophobia. At the heart of this book is a wide-ranging, rigorous analysis of an incredible variety of sources that help us to understand public attitudes toward Muslims. At the same time, Lajevardi's book, including her attention to the perceptions of Muslims related to discrimination and hostility, is a poignant reflection on the nature of belonging in the United States.' Janelle Wong, University of Maryland
'An outstanding and comprehensive treatment of the discrimination and racialization of Muslim Americans today. Lajevardi illustrates with sophisticated empirical data and methodologies the ways in which Muslim Americans are discriminated against by society, elected officials and the media. She also demonstrates the consequences of this racialization and discrimination on Muslim Americans. It's a must read!' Amaney A. Jamal, Edwards S. Sanford Professor of Politics, Princeton University
'This urgent book constitutes a powerful, landmark study of the status of Muslims within the American political system. Innovative theory and remarkable empirical data underpin Lajevardi's exploration of widespread discrimination and exclusion in the United States.' Dalia Mogahed, co-author of Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think
'A must-read for anyone interested in the lives of Muslim Americans and the importance of belonging, inclusion and human rights.' Ms Magazine
'… this text will inform audiences beyond political science, including those interested in patterns of racialization, political engagement, and efforts to undo structural inequality.' J. deGuzman, Choice
