Racialization, Islamophobia and Mistaken Identity + nemokamas atvežimas! | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Terrorist attacks globally and nationally have had a significant impact on the public debate on race hate crime and discrimination. The British government has focused on race relations with reference to the Afro-Caribbean community and the Abrahamic faiths, with little attention to the impact of race hate laws and policy, but also incidences of race hatred or 'Islamophobia' directed at the Sikhs. Sikhs have become victims of mistaken identity: in Britain, the recording of 'Islamophobic hate crime' by Police forces was investigated by one of the authors to reveal that victims were not just Muslims as initially perceived, but across all faiths and none.



This book is the first to look exclusively at the backlash that Sikhs in the UK have faced since 9/11, providing a theological and historical backdrop to Sikh identity in the global context, before critically analysing the incidences of Islamophobia since 9/11, 7/7 and most recently in the run up to and after the Brexit referendum vote, and how British Sikhs and the British government have responded and reacted to these incidences.
