This is the first in a series of self-curated collections of writing by Chris Allen.
Comprising a number of writings on Islamophobia from the past two decades, this collection affords readers a unique opportunity to gain a better understanding of Islamophobia in the contemporary setting from the perspective of politics, women and social issues. As regards politics, this collection explores the British government's approaches to tackling Islamophobia, the impact and legacy of Baroness Sayeeda Warsi's 'dinner table test' speech, and how political discourse can be utilised to instil 'fear' among the general public. In relation to women, this collection considers the impact of street-level hate on Muslim women, the effectiveness of the National Muslim Women's Advisory Group, and certain other issues relating to the banning of the burkini, the wearing of the poppy hijab and calls to be 'more British'. In terms of social issues, this collection investigates how mosques are seen as places of 'difference', the impact of Operation Trojan Horse in Birmingham, and what might be dubbed the recent 'halal hysteria'.
