Shryock Andrew. Islamophobia/Islamophilia - Beyond the Politics of Enemy and Friend
Indiana University Press, 2010, 250 pages
"Islamophobia" is a term that has been widely applied to anti-Muslim ideas and actions, especially since 9/11. The contributors to this provocative volume explore and critique the usefulness of the concept for understanding contexts ranging from the Middle Ages to the modern day. Moving beyond familiar explanations such as good Muslim/bad Muslim stereotypes or the "clash of civilizations," they describe Islamophobia's counterpart, Islamophilia, which deploys similar oppositions in the interest of fostering public acceptance of Islam. Contributors address topics such as conflicts over Islam outside and within Muslim communities in . . .
Contents Acknowledgments This book grows out of intellectual exchanges that began in October 2007 at "Islamophobia/Islamophilia: Beyond the Politics of Enemy and Friend," the inaugural conference of the Islamic Studies Initiative (ISI) at the University of Michigan.

Part One: Continuities and Transformations Western Hostility toward Muslims: A History of the Present Islamophobia is a new word but not a new phenomenon.

The Khalil Gibran International Academy: Diasporic Confrontations with an Emerging Islamophobia Reactions to the establishment of the Khalil Gibran International Academy (KGIA), the first New York City public school to teach an Arabic dual curriculum with a focus on Arab history and culture, were intense. Over the summer. Part Two The God that Failed: The Neo-Orientalism of Today's Muslim Commentators Thirty years ago, Edward Said published Orientalism, the highly influential study challenging the authority of Western representations of the Orient through the twin prisms of knowledge and power. Said identified Orientalism. Gendering Islamophobia and Islamophilia: The Case of Shi'i Muslim Women in Lebanon In the ten years that I have been conducting field research in the southern suburb of Beirut, there has been a drastic shift in the geopolitical climate in relation to my interlocutors, many of whom are supporters of the Lebanese. Bridging Traditions: Madrasaas and Their Internal Critics Of the many thorny debates on issues relating to Islam and modernity, questions of educational reform are among the most contentious. What sort of education should Muslims receive in order to meet the challenges of changing. Part Three The Fantasy and Violence of Religious Imagination: Islamophonia and Anti-Semitism in France and North Africa In a particularly poignant moment in Matthieu Kassovitz’s celebrated 1995 film, La Haine—a bleak, neorealist portrayal of marginalization and violence in the Parisian outer-city (banlieue) housing projects (les cites)—the white. German Converts to Islam and Their Ambivalent Relations with Immigrant Muslims I would never have become a Muslim if I had met Muslims before I met Islam. I heard these words over and over again during my yearlong ethnographic research among ethnic German converts to Islam in Berlin.1 The first time,. Part Four: Attraction and Repulsion in Shared Space Muslim Ethnic Comedy: Inversions of Islamophobia The association of Muslims with terrorism after 9/11 has prompted a search for the comic side of being Muslim. Do these people ever laugh? The simplistic idea that Muslims hate us has simultaneously produced rigid stereotypes.
