Reviews
"Kazi's book [is] necessary reading for any American invested in real transformation of this country."
"Nazia Kazi's Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics is a brilliant and powerful meditation on the intersection and interaction of Islamophobia, racism, and U.S. imperial state power. This book seeks to reorient our understanding of Islamophobia from a phenomenon centered on individual attitudes and perceptions of hate, to one which is indelibly entrenched to the structural logics of modern state sovereignty, and to the long-running history of racism in the U.S."
Praise for Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics
"In this fascinating little volume, Nazia Kazi successfully demonstrates that Islamophobia is not just a response to 9/11 or other violence in the name of Islam, but rather a complicated set of attitudes and behaviors accompanying aggressive Western government actions in the Islamic world and endemic racism in the US and elsewhere."
