| Résumé: | Two thirds of Muslims in the U.S. are vexed with currentpolicy, and there has been an alarming increase in reports of bigotry anddiscrimination against them since the 2016 presidential elections. The fear ofIslam, in general, and Muslims, specifically, not only compels non-Muslims to differentiallytreat Muslims, but also trade some of their own civil rights and civilliberties under the guise of national security. To address these issues, institutions require a nuancedunderstanding of laws and policies that institutionalize Islamophobia, and agreater understanding of the diverse college students that identify as Muslim. This book fills what has been a dearth of researchthat explores the experiences and navigation of Muslim students in colleges anduniversities, and addresses the even less studied domain of the experiences ofMuslim students who hold multiple marginalized identities -- such as race,ethnicity, and LGBTQ status - as well as the intersection of those identitiesthat may create multiple burdens of oppression and discrimination. |
