For Middle Eastern and Muslim Americans, 9/11 also ushered in a backlash in the form of hate crimes, discrimination, and a string of devastating government initiatives. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the impact of the post-9/11 events on Middle Eastern and Muslim Americans as well as their organized response. Through fieldwork and interviews with community leaders, Anny Bakalian and Mehdi Bozorgmehr show how ethnic organizations mobilized to demonstrate their commitment to the United States while defending their rights and distancing themselves from the terrorists.War on Terrorism, 2001-2009Moral and ethical aspectsSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001InfluenceHate crimesUnited StatesMuslimsUnited StatesArab AmericansCrimes againstUnited StatesElectronic books.War on Terrorism, 2001-2009Moral and ethical aspects.September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001Influence.Hate crimesMuslimsArab AmericansCrimes against973.931Bakalian Anny P1055001Bozorgmehr Mehdi1055002MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465159303321Backlash 92488057UNINA
