AUTHOR APPROVED 'This book is a welcome addition to the emerging literature on Islamophobia. Using comparative data from the EU and particularly, France and Germany, Raymond Taras presents a thought-provoking causal analysis of the emergence and persistence of anti-Muslim prejudices and openly argues for a more active engagement by political elites.' Professor Markus Thiel, School of International & Public Affairs (SIPA), Florida International University European anti-Muslim attitudes: the voice of public protest against out-of-touch elites? Are anti-Muslim attitudes becoming the spectre that is haunting Europe? Is Islamophobia as widespread and virulent as is made out? Or do some EU societies appear more prejudiced than others? To what extent are European fears about unmanaged immigration the basis for scapegoating Muslim communities? And is there an anti-elitest dimension to Europeans' protest about rapid demographic change occurring in their countries? This cross-national analysis of Islamophobia looks at these questions in an innovative, even-handed way, steering clear of politically correct clichés and stereotypes. It cautions that Islamophobia is a serious threat to European values and norms, and must be tackled by future immigration and integration policy. Key Features - The first comprehensive study of Islamophobic attitudes in Europe, tracing their origins and identifying their consequences - Gives a comparative analysis of the roots of European xenophobia and its destructive consequence in the rise and spread of anti-Muslim attitudes - Explores the growing opposition to immigration across Europe, with a special focus on the cases of France and Germany - Textbook features include tables of comparative data and text boxes illustrating key issues Raymond Taras has served as Willy Brandt Professor of Migration Studies at Malmö University in Sweden and is Professor of Politics at Tulane University. His recent books include Europe Old and New (2009) and Understanding Ethnic Conflict (4th edition 2010).
