Book SynopsisPrivacy on the internet is challenged in a wide variety of ways - from large social media companies, whose entire business models are based on privacy invasion, through the developing technologies of facial recognition, to the desire of governments to monitor our every activity online. But the impact these issues have on our daily lives is often underplayed or misunderstood. In this book, Paul Bernal analyses how the internet became what it is today, exploring how the current manifestation of the internet works for people, for companies and even for governments, with reference to the new privacy battlefields of location and health data, the internet of things and the increasingly contentious issue of personal data and political manipulation. The author then proposes what we should do about the problems surrounding internet privacy, such as significant changes in government policy, a reversal of the current ‘war’ on encryption, being brave enough to take on the internet giants, and challenging the idea that ‘real names’ would improve the discourse on social networks. ABOUT THE SERIES: The ‘What Do We Know and What Should We Do About...?′ series offers readers short, up-to-date overviews of key issues often misrepresented, simplified or misunderstood in modern society and the media.

Book SynopsisMental health is positioned as the cure-all for society’s discontents, from pandemics to terrorism. But psychology and psychiatry are not apolitical, and neither are Muslims. This book unpacks where the politics of the psy-disciplines and the politics of Muslims overlaps, demonstrating how psychological theories and practices serve State interests and perpetuate inequality—especially racism and Islamophobia. Viewing the psy-disciplines from the margins, this book illustrates how these necessarily serve the State in the production of loyal, low-risk and productive citizens, offering a modern discussion of three paradigms underlying the psy-disciplines: neoliberalism, security and the politics of mental health. Tarek Younis is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Middlesex University. Trade ReviewEdward Said wrote that the problematisation of Islam by the Western order began with the Crusades and has never gone away. Infused with the spirit of enquiry of Franz Fanon, this a penetrating and resonant account of how the Western state seeks to pin down and fix the Muslim mind on security grounds. Tarek highlights the ethically dubious role being played by mental health professionals, supposedly apolitical and neutral, in this endeavour- contributing to a climate of deteriorating civil liberties. Essential reading! -- Derek SummerfieldMuch has been said about the injurious impact of Islamophobia. But there is something amiss in the repetition of studies. Tarek Younis gives us a powerful explanation by approaching racial violence indirectly through a multifaceted reading of the interlocking relationships between security, psychology, and neo-liberalism. He not only persuasively demonstrates the ‘neutral’ masks contemporary racism puts on, but how it’s integral to the very workings of the modern security state. This is one of the most important books to come out on Islamophobia in years. -- Dr Sahar GhumkhorDr Tarek Younis takes the discussion of Islamophobia beyond discrimination, by critically reflecting on how the psy-disciplines are influenced by modern ideologies and exist within the state apparatus, and how this affects Muslims. An insightful analysis written in a clear and accessible style. -- Dr. Jeyda HammadTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction: Friendly Ears Chapter 2: Islamophobia And The Problem Of Muslim Thought Chapter 3: Politics And Psychology: The Only Revolution Is Within Chapter 4: The Politics Of Muslim Mental Health: Legitimacy Through Suffering Chapter 5:.
