Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and Palestinian Muslims as racialized others Hip-Hop, Islam, and race Sexuality, gender, and race in Muslim spaces Islamophobia and race Racializing Muslim youth Islam, media, photography and race Central issues are explored not only in Muslim societies but also in Muslim-minority countries like Mexico, Finland, Brazil, New Zealand, and South Africa for topics such as race and color in the Qur’an, law, slavery, conversion, multiculturalism, blackness, whiteness, and otherness.
The Routledge Handbook of Islam and Race is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies and postcolonial studies. The Handbook will also be very useful for those in related fields such as art and architecture, literature, ethnic studies, Black and Africana studies, sociology, history, anthropology, and global studies.
