Excellent- More about The Muslim Problem: From the British Empire to Islamophobia
This book explores the rise of Islamophobia by examining the role of free speech, censorship, and fatwa during the Satanic Verses affair. It argues that Islamophobia is a postcolonial reformulation of the Muslim figure and challenges the view that it is a reserve of the far-right. It provides a decolonial, counter-Islamophobia approach that promotes a post-racist society and calls for a liberating idea of Britishness that challenges exclusionary white symbolic content.

This comprehensive book delves into the escalating occurrences and mainstreaming of Islamophobia, by examining the significant role played by symbols of free speech, censorship, and fatwa during the infamous Satanic Verses affair. Through a detailed analysis, Ismail Patel establishes Islamophobia as a distinct postcolonial reimagining of the Muslim figure, rather than a continuation of the antagonistic relationship inherited from the British Empire. The book adopts a paradigmatic perspective in studying Islamophobia, engaging in a critical debate about its global prevalence, exploring the ongoing discussions on its definition, and challenging the notion that it is solely a domain of the far-right. It also assesses the ongoing debates surrounding identity and demonstrates how the colonized portrayal of Muslims played a crucial role in constructing British imperial identity. By offering a decolonial and counter-Islamophobic approach, the book challenges the exclusionary white symbolic content associated with Britishness and advocates for a liberating notion of Britishness that promotes a post-racist rather than a post-race society.
Theoretically robust, this book makes valuable contributions to discussions on identity formation, Britishness, Islamophobia, and counter-Islamophobia. It will be of immense interest to students and researchers across history, politics, sociology, cultural studies, literary studies, and anthropology.
