Description
Book SynopsisExamines how public fears about Muslims in the United States compare with the reality of American Muslims' attitudes on a range of relevant issues. While most research on Muslim Americans focuses on Arab Muslims, a quarter of the Muslim American population, Rachel Gillum includes perspectives of Muslims from ethnic and national communities.
Trade ReviewThis is the first study that I have seen that has parsed generational and ethnic/racial differences in attitude among Muslim Americans rather than viewing these communities as a monolith … This book combines both the statistical angle and interviews in an illuminating way."" - Faiza Patel, Brennan Center for Justice, New York University School of Law
""Rachel Gillum combines sophisticated survey analysis and in-depth interviews to examine one of the most important civil rights issues in the United States today: the widespread and unfair treatment of Muslim Americans as potential terrorists."" - Charles Kurzman, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
