Opis

This book uses a critical decolonial psychology approach to conceptualize everyday Islamophobia. The author draws on theoretical resources situated within the discursive turn, such as decoloniality/transmodernity and carries out an archeology of (counter)terrorism, a genealogy of the conceptual Muslim, and a Žižekian ideology critique.
