"Innovative and ambitious, this book will undoubtedly become a key reference when debating the issue of anti-Muslim racism. Offering a range of analysis-linking anti-Muslim racism to the global phenomenon of imperialism-With Stones in Our Hands is a crucial work in the building of a true decolonial theory."-Houria Bouteldja, author of Whites, Jews, and Us: Toward a Politics of Revolutionary Love"A timely updating of critical interventions and debates-of stone throwing in the best of anticolonizing traditions-from, about, and in conversation with the ‘Muslim Left,’ the ‘Muslim International.’ In the spirit of Third World studies, this is a crucial contribution for our times, a necessary read for all."-David Theo Goldberg, University of California Humanities Research Institute"With Stones in our Hands offers theoretical application to historical and contemporary examples of anti-Muslim racisms, primarily in the US. Like any edited volume, the quality and character of the essays vary, but as a whole, this is a solid and distinctive collection well deserving of a wide readership." -Reading Religion"Daulatzai and Rana have put together a very strong collection of essays that accomplishes their purpose of giving voice to the Muslim Left and Muslim International while also providing interesting and insightful diversity." -Marginalia Review of Books
