Lean, Nathan Chapman.
The Islamophobia industry : how the right manufactures fear of Muslims / Nathan Lean ; foreword by John L. Esposito. - London : New York : Pluto Press ; Distributed in the United States of America exclusively by Palgrave Macmillan, 2012. - xiii, 222 pages ;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-213) and index.
Monsters among us : a history of sowing fear in America -- A web of deception : fomenting hate online -- Media mayhem : broadcasting anti-Muslim madness -- We come bearing crosses : the Christian Right's battle for eternity -- Of politics and prophecy : the alliance of the pro-Israel right -- To Washington and beyond : Islamophobia as government policy -- Across the pond : the deadly effects of hate in Europe.
This is a disturbing account of the rising tide of Islamophobia sweeping through the United States and Europe. Nathan Lean takes us through a world of conservative bloggers, right-wing talk show hosts, evangelical religious leaders and politicians, all united in their quest to exhume the ghosts of 9/11 and convince their compatriots that Islam is the enemy. Lean uncovers their scare tactics, reveals their motives and exposes the ideologies that drive their propaganda machine. Situating Islamophobia within a long history of national and international phobias, this book challenges the narrative of fear that has for too long dominated discussions about Muslims and Islam.
