The contributors to SECULARISM, RACE, AND THE POLITICS OF ISLAMOPHOBIA argue that current scholarship does not account for the relationship between secularism and race in social structures in theorizing Islamophobia.
Advocating for a decolonial approach to better theorize the phenomenon, they call attention to the ways secularism is embedded in and drives the disciplinary institutions of the State—such as law, political groups, government entities, and bureaucracies—to authorize racism and the racialization of Muslims and Islam.
Finally, the scholars highlight the extent and nature of contemporary scholarly debates as well as public efforts to counter Islamophobia.
