"Muslim Bans" and the (Re)making of political Islamophobia

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Donald Trump's December 2015 proposal to "ban Muslims" marked a new highpoint in political animus toward Muslims. It also ushered in a new era of explicit Islamophobia within the political sphere, spearheaded by the man who would come to symbolize it. Far more than a fringe or aberrant policy position, Trump's Muslim ban helped deliver him the presidency, and developed into a cornerstone of his campaign for the White House.
