This book offers valuable expert analysis and activist reflections on
Islamophobia and anti-Americanism. This is the first book in the market to
explore Islamophobia and anti-Americanism as interrelated global phenomena. The
volume traces the effects of Islamophobia and anti-Americanism on public opinion
in America and Muslim-majority states. It also offers an assessment of
post-September 11 media depictions of Islam and Muslims. Additionally, the book
examines the impact of American government policies and the prospects of reform
in the Muslim world on anti-American and anti-Muslim sentiments. The work also
looks at how various government and non-government actors are helping or
hindering the quest for remedies. In particular, the book assesses interfaith
encounters and the role of American Muslims in bridging the growing perception
gap between America and the Muslim world.
Contributors to this volume provide perspectives based on research material as
well as personal encounters. Some of the writers are leading scholars in the
field of Middle East studies and Muslim-Christian relations, while others are
civil society leaders in America and the Muslim world.
