O knihe

'A well-argued and richly detailed analysis of how the issue of Islamophobia fits - and fails to fit - into prevailing forms of Left and liberal anti-racist politics.'
Arun Kundnani, author of The Muslims are Coming! Islamophobia, Extremism, and the Domestic War on Terror

'This groundbreaking work offers rich empirical data through in-depth interviews with activists in Manchester and Glasgow. Bringing together discussions of Islamophobia, anti-racism and abolition politics, the book makes an important contribution to our thinking about solidarity and resistance.'
Deepa Kumar, author of Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire: 20 Years Since 9/11

'Aided by a rich tapestry of voices, this book focuses on a solidaristic vision that ties all of us towards a liberated tomorrow - from Piccadilly Gardens to Palestine.'
Ilyas Nagdee, co-author of Race to the Bottom: Reclaiming Antiracism

Islamophobia, anti-racism and the British left interrogates the treatment of Islamophobia by those committed to challenging it. Drawing on first-hand accounts across two British cities, it explores the ways in which anti-racist activists and community workers understand the problem of Islamophobia, and what this means for their responses on the ground.

Islamophobia remains one of the most misunderstood varieties of racism in the current moment. Through rigorous sociological analysis and an engagement with anti-racisms past and present, this book casts a clarifying lens on Islamophobia's complex relationship to 'race', other racisms and racial capitalism, and offers a critical assessment of recent attempts to talk about and tackle it.

Reflecting on key political trends and covering topics as diverse as left nationalism, liberal hegemony, and histories of Black radicalism, Islamophobia, anti-racism and the British left promises a fresh approach to resisting Islamophobia from and for the anti-racist left.
