{"product_id":"constructing-muslims-in-france-jennifer-fredette-9781439910290","title":"Constructing Muslims in France: Discourse, Public Identity, and the Politics of Citizenship","description":"The standing of French Muslims is undercut by a predominant and persistent elite public discourse that frames Muslims as failed and incomplete French citizens. This situation fosters the very separations, exclusions, and hierarchies it claims to deplore as Muslims face discrimination in education, housing, and employment. In \u003ci\u003eConstructing Muslims in France, \u003c\/i\u003eJennifer Fredette provides a deft empirical analysis to show the political diversity and complicated identity politics of this relatively new population. She examines the public identity of French Muslims and evaluates images in popular media to show how stereotyped notions of racial and religious differences pervade French public discourse. While rights may be a \u003ci\u003esine qua non\u003c\/i\u003e for fighting legal and political inequality, Fredette shows that additional tools such as media access are needed to combat social inequality, particularly when it comes in the form of unfavorable discursive frames and public disrespect. Presenting the conflicting views of French national identity, Fredette shows how Muslims strive to gain recognition of their diverse views and backgrounds and find full equality as French citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Fredette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439910294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439910290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 338","brand":"Jennifer Fredette","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065586233599,"sku":"9781439910290","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4a5bd4e-dc91-4e33-8041-d83db15c94c7.jpg?v=1768675952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constructing-muslims-in-france-jennifer-fredette-9781439910290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
