Given the intense scrutiny of Muslims, The Routledge Handbook of Islam and Race is an outstanding reference to key topics related to Islam and racialization. Comprising over 40 chapters by nearly 50 international contributors, the Handbook covers 30 countries on six continents examining an array of subjects including

• Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and Palestinian Muslims as racialized others
• Hip-Hop, Islam, and race
• Sexuality, gender, and race in Muslim spaces
• Islamophobia and race
• Racializing Muslim youth
• Islam, media, photography and race

Central issues are explored not only in Muslim societies but also in Muslim-minority countries like Mexico, Finland, Brazil, New Zealand, and South Africa for topics such as race and color in the Qur?an, law, slavery, conversion, multiculturalism, blackness, whiteness, and otherness.

The Routledge Handbook of Islam and Race is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies and postcolonial studies. The Handbook will also be very useful for those in related fields such as art and architecture, literature, ethnic studies, Black and Africana studies, sociology, history, anthropology, and global studies.
