Thinking through anti, post, and decolonial theories, this book
examines, analyses, and conceptualises 'visibly Muslim' Lebanese
women's lived experiences of discrimination, assault, wounding, and
erasure. Based on in-depth research alongside over 100 Sunni and Shia
participant between 2017 and 2019 it situates these experiences at the
intersection of the local and the global and argues for their
conceptualisation as a form of structural and lived anti-Muslim
racism. In doing this, it discusses the convergences and divergences
of anti-Muslim racism in Lebanon with anti-Muslim racism in other
parts of both the global north and the global south. It examines the
production of this racialisation as well as its workings across
spheres of public, private, work, and state – including an analysis
of internalised self-hate. It further explores various forms of
resistance and negotiation and the contemporary possibilities and
impossibilities of working beyond the epistemic framework of
Eurocentric modernity. As the first in-depth and extensive study of
anti-Muslim racism within Muslim-majority and Arab-majority spaces, it
offers an urgent and timely redress to multiple gaps and biases in the
study of the Muslim-majority and Arab-majority worlds as well as
racialisation broadly and Islamophobia specifically.
