- The book develops, over more than 250 pages, an analysis of various processes that have converged during the past decade to intensify the development of Islamophobia in France. Five chapters, and an introduction and conclusion, detail the colonial overtones of responses to the ‘war on terror’, the authoritarian trajectory of mainstream politics, the mutation of Republican secularism and the impact of rising disparities of wealth and income following the global financial crash of 2008. It draws on interviews with protagonists to explain divisions within France’s anti-racist movement. Published separately these chapters would amount to around five journal articles.
