PALGRAVE POLITICS OF IDENTITY AND CITIZENSHIP S...

This book explores everyday realities of young Muslim women in Britain  who are portrayed as
antithetical to the British way of life in media and political discourse. The book captures how
geo-political events  and national tragedies continue to implicate individuals and communities
at the domestic and local level  communities that have no connection to such tragedies and
events  other than being associated with a religio-ethnic identity. The author shows how Muslim
women are caught within the spectrum of the vulnerable-fanatic  always perceived to be 'at
risk' of being 'radicalized'. Focusing on educated Muslim females  the book explores
experiences of Islamophobia and securitization inside and outside educational institutions  and
highlights individual and group acts of resistance through dialogue  with Muslim women
challenging the metanarrative of insecurity and suspicion that plagues their everyday existence
in Britain. Islamophobia and Securitization will be of interest to scholars and students
researching Muslims in the West  in particular sociologists  anthropologists  and political
scientists. It will also appeal to analysts and academics researching security and terrorism 
race and racialization  as well as gender  immigration  and diaspora.
