Casting out [electronic resource] : the eviction of Muslims from western law and politics / Sherene H. Razack. Toronto : University of Toronto Press, c2008 [i.e. 2007] 1 online resource (x, 250 p.) Includes bibliographical references (p. [213]-223) and index. 'Your client has a profile' : race in the security hearing -- If it wasn't for the sex and the photos : the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib -- Modern women as imperialists : geopolitics, culture clash, and gender after 9/11 -- Racism in the name of feminism : imperilled Muslim women in Norway -- The Muslims are coming : the 'Sharia debate' in Canada. "Three stereotypical figures have come to represent the 'war on terror' - the 'dangerous' Muslim man, the 'imperilled' Muslim woman, and the 'civilized' European. Casting Out explores the use of these characterizations in the creation of the myth of the family of democratic Western nations obliged to use political, military, and legal force to defend itself against a menacing third world population. It argues that this myth is promoted to justify the expulsion of Muslims from the political community, a process that takes the form of stigmatization, surveillance, incarceration, torture, and bombing. In this timely and controversial work, Sherene H. Razack looks at contemporary legal and social responses to Muslims in the West and places them in historical context." "Combining rich theoretical perspectives and extensive research, Casting Out makes a major contribution to contemporary debates on race and the 'war on terror' and their implications in areas such as law, politics, cultural studies, feminist and gender studies, and race relations."--Jacket.
