Abstract
The Palgrave Handbook of Gendered Islamophobia provides a comprehensive single-volume collection of key readings in gendered Islamophobia. It consists of twenty-five chapters accessibly written by nationally and internationally acclaimed scholars, policy makers and practitioners. Part I provides chapters that seek to understand the theoretical dimensions of gendered Islamophobia. Leading national and international authors use philosophical, sociological, political, psychological and criminological theories to explain how both the causes and consequences of gendered Islamophobia should be understood, not just as a domestic issue but as a global phenomenon. Part II illustrates the dynamics of gendered Islamophobia through the use of case examples in the UK, followed by Part III, which examines gendered Islamophobia in the European context. Finally, Part IV further illustrates the dynamics of gendered Islamophobia in a global context.
