The Identity War: How Empires Invented Race, and How the West Rebuilt the Arab Image (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798278017356)

Race was not discovered. It was engineered.
For centuries, powerful empires and institutions built the idea of racial hierarchy to justify conquest, division, and control. Today, those same systems shape politics, media, identity, and the very way people see themselves.

The Identity War exposes the hidden architecture of racism from its earliest origins to its modern forms. Blending history, psychology, geopolitics, and Islamic ethics, this book uncovers how narratives are created, how they are weaponized, and how communities can reclaim their dignity and rewrite their story.

From the invention of race in early European expansion, to Orientalism and the Western construction of the "Arab," to modern propaganda, policing, and internalized stereotypes-this work reveals the machinery behind the world's most persistent forms of discrimination.

But it is not just a diagnosis.
It is a blueprint for liberation.

Through historical truth, education, community strategy, and spiritual grounding, The Identity War offers a powerful path toward justice and renewal. It speaks to anyone seeking to understand oppression, challenge false narratives, and build a future rooted in truth, dignity, and unity.

If you care about identity, history, justice, or the Muslim experience; this book is essential.
