"An excellent and wide ranging exploration of how the term Islamophobia has been applied in academic discourses and general representations of Muslims throughout the world. This thought provoking anthology contributes significantly to our understanding of a much used and abused concept." — Ziauddin Sardar, author of Desperately Seeking Paradise and Balti Britain
"Thinking Through Islamophobia is a rare endeavor of collective scholarship that is timely, prescient, and seminal. Challenging us to develop critical Muslim studies in post-western epistemologies, it provides exemplary analyses of the imbricated formations of racism, Orientalism, secularism, and postcolonialism largely silenced by contemporary social and political theory." — Barnor Hesse, Northwestern University
"Islamophobia has become a dominant form of racist expression across the contemporary global north. Thinking Through Islamophobia provides an especially welcome, timely, and varied set of accounts about what the phenomenon covers, why the current upsurge, and how effectively to think about it." — David Theo Goldberg, author of The Threat of Race: Reflections on Racial Neoliberalism
