Islamophobia and anti-racism -- Conclusion. 520 $a Islamophobia in France is on the increase, with Muslims subjected to unprecedented scrutiny of what they wear, eat and say. Championed by Marine Le Pen and drawing on the French colonial legacy, France's "new secularism" gives racism a respectable veneer. Jim Wolfreys exposes the dynamics driving this intolerance: a society polarized by inequality, and the authoritarian neoliberalism of the French political mainstream. This officially sanctioned Islamophobia risks going unchallenged. It has divided the traditional anti-racist movement and undermined the left's opposition to bigotry. Wolfeys deftly unravels the problems facing those trying to confront today's rise in racism. Republic of Islamophobia illuminates both the uniqueness of France's anti-Muslim backlash and its broader implications for the West. 650 0 $a Islamophobia $z France. 650 0 $a Muslims $z France. 650 0 $a Racism $z France. 651 0 $a France $x Race relations. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020448.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802013827.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D386324961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
