Book Overview
"A brave and provocative book...Highly recommended"--CHOICE "This book performs a true service for the nation."--Glenn Greenwald It is undeniable that there is a rising tide of Islamophobia sweeping across the United States and Europe. With The Islamophobia Industry, Nathan Lean takes us through the disturbing worlds of conservative bloggers, right-wing talk show hosts, evangelical religious leaders, and politicians--all united in a quest to revive post-9/11 xenophobia and convince their compatriots that Islam is the enemy. Lean uncovers modern scare tactics, reveals each groups' true motives, and exposes the ideologies that drive their propaganda machine. Situating Islamophobia within a long history of national and international fears, The Islamophobia Industry challenges the illogical narrative of hate that dominated discussions about Muslims and Islam for too long. Topics covered include: *Islamophobia from the War on Terror to the Age of Trump
*Hate on the Internet
*Inside the Mainstream Media Echo Chamber
*The Christian Right's Battle for Mulsim Souls
*The Influence of the Pro-Israel Right
*Politicizing and Legislating Fear of Muslims
*Islam as the Enemy of European Populism With this new, updated edition, Lean includes material on the 2016 election and the rhetoric of fear that contributed to Trump's win, the effects of Brexit and Europe's refugee crisis, and the bleak realities about how the new government shaping the United States will increase racism and hate crime, as we are already beginning to see. He discusses the Islamophobia industry's most extreme figures: Breitbart writers, Bill Maher, Steve Bannon, Newt Gingrich, and more.
