Naved Bakali - The rise of global Islamophobia in the War on Terror

The rise of global Islamophobia in the War on Terror

Postcolonial International Studies

Series Editors: Mustapha K. Pasha, Meera Sabaratnam and Robbie Shilliam

Postcolonial International Studies marks out a dedicated space for advanced critical inquiry into colonial questions across International Relations and beyond. The series embraces a multitude of methods and approaches, theoretical and empirical scholarship, as well as historical and contemporary concerns. It enquires into the shifting principles of colonial rule that inform global governance and investigates the contestation of these principles by diverse peoples across the globe. Critically re-interpreting popular concepts, narratives and approaches by reference to the colonial question, Postcolonial International Studies opens up new vistas from which to address the key political questions of our time.

Originally presented as Kilombo, this series retains the ethos reflected by the bricolage constituency of Kilombos settlements of African slaves, rebels and indigenous peoples in South America who became self-determining political communities that retrieved and renovated the social practices of its diverse constituencies while being confronted by colonial forces.
