Kenneth J. Long is professor of history and political science at the University of Saint Joseph.
Kenneth Long provides a particularly timely and badly needed
treatment of the sources and consequences of anti-Muslim attitudes
and politics in contemporary times. His compact and yet
wide-ranging and well-argued book focuses not on Islamophobia, but
rather on what he convincingly shows is the 'enemy-ization' of
Muslims more generally—those who are, are considered to be, or are
thought to be Muslim.
*Michael Clancy, University of Hartford*
Ken Long's new book is most timely. A thoughtful intervention in
the debate about Islamophobia today, it offers poignant contrasts
with the Anti-Semitism that swept across Europe under Nazism.
Highlighting the pernicious role of stereotypes in prejudicial
thinking, it should give us all pause about emerging threats to
universalism, multiculturalism and liberal democracy. Reading this
book fortifies us against the challenges that are emerging now.
*Sanford Schram, Hunter College*
Thought-provoking and passionate, Long’s book is a welcome
contribution from the perspective of political science to the study
of anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies in the United States and in
Europe.
*Jonas Svensson, Linnaeus University*
