Islam in America in Post 9/11 Scenario

This book offers a fascinating account of the post 9/11 anti-Muslim discriminatory wave that over took the U.S. Although the U.S is considered a multicultural and tolerant society where rule of law and writ of the authorities prevail, in the wake of 9/11 the fury of discrimination and hate crimes fell on the American Muslim diaspora. This work is both a qualitative and quantitative attempt to explore the reality and feeling of being a hate crime or discrimination victim. It presents victims’ heartbreaking narratives of the hate crimes and acts of discrimination they faced in post 9/11 America. The book also stresses quantitatively that discrimination and hate crimes against a certain diaspora can easily invoke reactionary feelings and enmity back at home country against the group (host nation) to which some individual perpetrators belong.
