Uprooting Islamophobia
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Tangled in Terror by Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan delves into the intricate tapestry of fear and suspicion woven around Muslim identities in contemporary society. The book examines how political, media, and social narratives create an environment of anxiety and marginalisation, portraying these experiences through a blend of personal insight and broader analysis. Focusing on themes of surveillance, power, and resistance, it challenges societal perceptions and compels readers to rethink the structures of fear that have become pervasive.

'Lyrical and uncompromising - Suhaiymah writes to disrupt' - gal-dem

Islamophobia is everywhere. It is a narrative and history woven so deeply into our everyday lives that we don't even notice it – in our education, how we travel, our healthcare, legal system and at work. Behind the scenes, it affects the most vulnerable, at the border and in prisons. Despite this, the conversation about Islamophobia is relegated to microaggressions and slurs.

Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan reveals how Islamophobia not only lives under the skin of those who it marks, but is an international political project designed to divide people in the name of security, in order to materially benefit global stakeholders. It can only be truly uprooted when we focus not on what it is but what it does.

Tangled in Terror shows that until the most marginalised Muslims are safe, nobody is safe.
