Multicultural politics : racism, ethnicity and Muslims in Britain

Summary: Muslims have come to be perceived as the 'other' that is most threatening to British society. This book argues that what begins as a narrative of racial exclusion and black-white division has been complicated by cultural racism, Islamophobia and an unexpected challenge to secular modernity.
