In response to the events of 9/11, the Bush administration launched a 'war on terror' ushering in an era of anti-Muslim racism, or Islamophobia. However, 9/11 alone did not create Islamophobia. This book examines the historic relationship between Islamophobia and the agenda of empire-building. Deepa Kumar is an associate professor of media studies and Middle East studies at Rutgers University and the author of 'Outside the Box: Corporate Media, Globalization and the UPS Strike. ' Kumar has contributed to numerous outlets including the BBC, 'USA Today, ' and the 'Philadelphia Inquirer. '
