{"product_id":"politicizing-islam-in-austria-farid-hafez-9781978830448","title":"Politicizing Islam in Austria: The Far-Right Impact in the Twenty-First Century","description":"Among its Continental peers, Austria has stood out for its longstanding state recognition of the Muslim community as early as 1912. A shift has occurred more recently, however, as populist far-right voices within the Austrian government have redirected public discourse and put into question Islam's previously accepted autonomous status within the country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePoliticizing Islam in Austria \u003c\/i\u003eexamines this anti-Muslim swerve in Austrian politics through a comprehensive analysis of government policies and regulations, as well as party and public discourses. In their innovative study, Hafez and Heinisch show how the far-right Austrian Freedom Party (FPﾖ) adapted anti-Muslim discourse to their political purposes and how that discourse was then appropriated by the conservative center-right Austrian People's Party (ﾖVP). This reconfiguration of the political landscape prepared the way for a right-wing coalition government between conservatives and far-right actors that would subsequently institutionalize anti-Muslim political demands and change the shape of the civic conditions and public perceptions of Islam and the Muslim community in the republic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Farid Hafez, Reinhard Heinisch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978830440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978830448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.08w x 0.47d","brand":"Farid Hafez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44919852105983,"sku":"9781978830448","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd1235ca-0f10-4338-85b9-a0d0e96b9752.jpg?v=1710359579","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politicizing-islam-in-austria-farid-hafez-9781978830448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
