- Summary:
- "Deepa Kumar, one of the nation's foremost scholars on Islamophobia, looks at how Muslims have become the predominant face of terror in U.S. news and entertainment media--even though terror attacks by white extremists have far outnumbered attacks by Muslim Americans since 9/11 ... explores how ruling elites have been raising the specter of Arab and Islamic terror since the 1970s to justify militarism, war, and curbs on civil liberties." --Container.
