With a series of compellingly written, conceptually engaging, and grounded case studies, this book makes a significant contribution to contemporary understandings of Islamophobia, and the local, national and transnational factors (re)creating its unfortunate presence.' Peter Hopkins, Newcastle University, UK 'This lucid and penetrating study of Islamophobia presents fresh insights into the process of generating modern-day folk devils, causing fear and panic. Examining the demonization of Muslims in the West as an accumulative and global process, this book reveals serious flaws in the way liberal governments have responded to their Muslim citizens and, more fundamentally, to social and cultural diversity.' Shahram Akbarzadeh, The University of Melbourne, Australia 'Global Islamophobia is a robust book that examines and tackles the fear of Islam with great brio and optimism. It is a carefully balanced academic collaboration: simultaneously sympathetic, elegiac and open, whilst also argumentative and at points dispassionately critical. The breadth of vision and depth of research demonstrates an assuredly lucid grasp of the variegated societal problems and the all too human vicissitudes covered by the subject matter. ... The editors have produced a useful, germane and well-considered book, liberal in its approach and accurate in its working methodology.' Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
