By deconstructing selected literary works of Lorrain Adams, John Updike and Don Delillo within Fredrickson’s notion of racism as scavenger ideology, Humaira Riaz argues that fiction incorporates racism cloaked in Islamophobia. The author concludes that necessitating interfaith community interaction may help in decreasing religious conflicts. Many of the Western and American assumptions about Islam are generated from ignorance. This work proposes a thorough discursive understanding of Islam as a code of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedication\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Sociohistorical Development of Racism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: ‘Heather Among Mohammeds’ Lorrain Adams' Harbor (2004)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: ‘Devil America’ John Updike’s Terrorist (2006)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: ‘Turn-of-the Century America’ Don DeLillo's Falling Man (2007)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041997160791,"sku":"9781666902655","price":62.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666902655.jpg?v=1750952544","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/unfolding-islamophobic-racism-in-american-fiction-9781666902655","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
