Nicoletta Karam has written the definitive book on the forgotten victims of 9/11. Many journalists and news commentators deny the existence, length, and intensity of the wave of intolerance that began immediately after the terrorist attacks. This book is an attempt to document that this backlash did occur, and was much worse and much longer in duration than many Americans realize. For more than a decade, bigots have targeted Middle Easterners, Arab-Americans, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, South Asians, Africans, American blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Asian-Americans, bearded white men, and ethnic-looking European immigrants--anyone who looked "different." This book argues that the 9/11 backlash was fueled by 20th-century Islamophobia and Hinduphobia, coupled with local and federal authorities' long-standing unwillingness to acknowledge the reality of hate crimes or handle them with the gravity they deserved. These factors created a "perfect storm" of xenophobia that swept through the U.S. after the terrorist strikes and continued to affect diverse minority communities for more than ten years. Included is the latest detailed information on the Wisconsin Sikh Temple massacre of August 5, 2012. Anyone who believes in equal rights for all should read this book."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a 9/11 backlash deniers and the diversity of hate crime victims and perpetrators -- The historical roots of the backlash - bias attacks and xenophobia before 9/11 -- The Arab, south Asian, and Muslim victims of the September 11th terrorist strikes -- Backlash assaults, Sept, 2001 to Sept. 2011 -- Backlash attacks at Mosques, Gurdwaras, Hindu temples, synagogues, and churches, Sept. 2001 to Sept. 2011 -- Backlash hate crimes at schools and universities, Sept. 2001 to Sept. 2011 -- Backlash attacks at work, Sept. 2001 to Sept. 2011 -- Backlash hate crimes at homes and residences, Sept. 2001 to Sept. 2011 -- Backlash verbal attacks and death threats, Sept. 2001 to Sept. 2011 -- Post-9/11 killings of Muslims, Sikhs, Arabs, and south Asians -- 75 reasons why backlash hate crimes are undercounted -- 'A kind of solution' - 75 steps to curb backlash bigotry -- The August 5, 2012 Wisconsin Sikh temple massacre. 650 0 $a September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001 $x Influence. 650 0 $a September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001 $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Hate crimes $z United States. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Intergroup relations $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x Political aspects $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a War on Terrorism, 2001-2009 $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a War on Terrorism, 2001-2009 $x Political aspects. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230013626.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20130403010813.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E56A8C3E9C2311E2B8D4017CDAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
