Islamophobia and the Law is a foundational volume of critical scholarship on the emerging form of bigotry widely known as Islamophobia. This book brings together leading legal scholars to explore the emergence and rise of Islamophobia after the 9/11 terror attacks, particularly how the law brings about state-sponsored Islamophobia and acts as a dynamic catalyst of private Islamophobia and vigilante violence against Muslims.

The first book of its kind, it is a critical read for scholars and practitioners, advocates and students interested in deepening their knowledge of the subject matter. This collection addresses Islamophobia in race, immigration and citizenship, criminal law and national security, in the use of courts to advance anti-Muslim projects and in law and society.

Analyzes how the law is integral in spearheading Islamophobia by state agencies and private citizens
Reveals the historical epistemological and legal sources that enable the contemporary rise of Isalmophobia
Includes selections that rely deeply on interdisciplinary research, facilitating discussions and creating bridges between scholars across disciplines
