Ismail Patel develops the notion of Islamophobia not as a continuation of the antagonistic relation from the British Empire but as a postcolonial reformulation of the figure of the Muslim. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book views Islamophobia studies as a paradigm, engages in the debate of Islamophobia as a global phenomenon, investigates the contestation over its definition and challenges the view of Islamophobia as a reserve of the far-right. It assesses the debate around the concept of identity and shows how the colonised figure of the Muslim provided significance in constructing British imperial identity. Providing a decolonial, counter-Islamophobia approach that challenges Britishness' exclusionary white symbolic content, the book calls for a liberating ideaof Britishness that promotes a post-racist rather than a post-race society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheoretically rich in analysis, this book will contribute to discussions of identity formation, Britishness, Islamophobia and counter-Islamophobia. It will be of use to students and researchers across history, politics, sociology, cultural studies, literary studies, and anthropology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ismail Adam Patel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030758443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030758448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.61d","brand":"Ismail Adam Patel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44364934250751,"sku":"9783030758448","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_226b4e9e-0dc4-4da8-93b1-36fe4b3872d7.jpg?v=1697055703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-muslim-problem-ismail-adam-patel-9783030758448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
