Islamophobia in France : the construction of the "Muslim problem" /

Islamophobia in France : the construction of the "Muslim problem" / Abdellali Hajjat and Marwan Mohammed ; translated by Steve Garner - Athens : The University of Georgia Press, cop. 2023 - (295 p.) - Sociology of race and ethnicity .

These cultural biases reveal how the Muslim population acts as a scapegoat for the problematic status of immigrants in France more generally. Islamophobia in France is an English translation of Abdellali Hajjat and Marwan Mohammed's Islamophobie: Comment les elites francaises fabriquent le "proble`me musulman." In this groundbreaking book, Hajjat and Mohammed argue that Islamophobia in France is not the result of individual prejudice or supposed Muslim cultural or racial deficiencies but rather arose out of structures of power and control already in place in France.
