Securitizing Islam examines the impact of 9/11, focusing on the ways in which identities in Britain have been affected in relation to Islam. Croft looks at how the promotion of Britishness has in part led to Muslims being seen as a threat to security.

Trade Review

Frank Foley, European Political Science
