Others have endured far worse fates. Sweeping arrests following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 led to the incarceration and deportation of thousands of Arabs and Muslims, based almost solely on their national origin and immigration status. The NYPD, with help from the CIA, has aggressively spied on Muslims in the New York area as they go about their ordinary lives, from noting where they get their hair cut to eavesdropping on conversations in cafes. In This Muslim American Life, Moustafa Bayoumi reveals what the War on Terror looks like from the vantage point of Muslim Americans, highlighting the profound effect this surveillance has had on how they live their lives. To be a Muslim American today often means to exist in an absurd space between exotic and dangerous, victim and villain, simply because of the assumptions people carry about you. In gripping essays, Bayoumi exposes how contemporary politics, movies, novels, media experts and more have together produced a culture of fear and suspicion that not only willfully forgets the Muslim-American past, but also threatens all of our civil liberties in the present"--Publisher's website.Social aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst01354981Public opinionfast(OCoLC)fst01082785MuslimsSocial conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst01031070MuslimsPublic opinionfast(OCoLC)fst01031065Muslims in popular culturefast(OCoLC)fst01031078MuslimsCivil rightsfast(OCoLC)fst01031035Muslimsfast(OCoLC)fst01031029Ethnic relationsfast(OCoLC)fst00916005Civil rightsfast(OCoLC)fst00862627SOCIAL SCIENCEMinority StudiesbisacshSOCIAL SCIENCEDiscrimination & Race RelationsbisacshMuslims in popular cultureUnited StatesPublic opinionUnited StatesCivil rightsUnited StatesMuslimsUnited StatesBiographyWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009Social aspectsUnited StatesMuslimsUnited StatesPublic opinionMuslimsCivil rightsUnited StatesMuslimsUnited StatesSocial conditionsUnited StatesfastUnited StatesEthnic relationsBiographies.Biographies.Electronic books.Social aspects.Public opinion.MuslimsSocial conditions.MuslimsPublic opinion.Muslims in popular culture.MuslimsCivil rights.Muslims.Ethnic relations.Civil rights.SOCIAL SCIENCEMinority Studies.SOCIAL SCIENCEDiscrimination & Race Relations.Muslims in popular culturePublic opinionCivil rightsMuslimsWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009Social aspectsMuslimsPublic opinion.MuslimsCivil rightsMuslimsSocial conditions.305.6/97Bayoumi Moustafa1033370MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910480784103321This Muslim American life2451875UNINA$110.1411/29/2017Relig
