Thinking Islamophobia and the War Terror

Course #: POLSCI 439

Description:
Islamophobia is a longstanding part of American history and culture that takes specific forms in our current moment. This course will traverse the history of Islamophobia in the United States, paying particular attention to its 21st century incarnations via a critical and genealogical accounting of the ''War on Terror,'' which will be considered as an extension of US empire and settler conquest as well as a project of racialization that constructs Islam and Muslims as innately ''terrorist.''
