Islamophobia is one of the most misunderstood and pernicious forms of racism in Britain. But how do those committed to challenging Islamophobia understand it? And what does this mean for their practices ‘on the ground’?
Islamophobia, anti-racism and the British left combines first-hand accounts from activists and community workers across two British cities with sociological theory, critically interrogating Islamophobia’s relationship to ‘race’, racial capitalism and other modalities of racism. Setting this discussion against some of the most pertinent political shifts in Britain in recent years – from the resurgence of left nationalism to Black Lives Matter – the book assesses the limits of recent attempts to think about and tackle Islamophobia, and considers the possibilities of an alternative approach from and for the anti-racist left.
