西方国家是如何通过9·11后世界的穆斯林形象巩固自己的白人身份的
虽然关于9·11后的反穆斯林种族主义（通常被称为伊斯兰恐惧症）的文章很多，但对于反穆斯林种族主义如何通过法律运作，以及如何成为法律保护白人的重要组成部分，却没有给予足够的关注。这本书填补了这一空白，同时也为白人至上提供了一个独特的全球视角。Sherene H.Razack是一位领先的批判性种族和女权主义学者，她采取了一种创新的方法，将法律置于媒体话语以及历史和当代现实中。拉扎克认为，我们可能认为法律是合乎逻辑的，但当主体是穆斯林时，它的逻辑就崩溃了。
拉扎克追溯了9·11事件后，白人主体和多数白人国家是如何通过穆斯林的形象巩固他们的白人身份的，他考察了反穆斯林种族主义的四个场所：美国福音派基督徒在学校课程中禁止伊斯兰教的努力；加拿大和欧洲对穆斯林妇女服装的禁令；种族科学和将穆斯林判为恐怖分子；以及美国对穆斯林在战争和占领期间遭受酷刑的国家记忆。她认为，当主题是穆斯林时，没有什么是有意义的，她坚持认为，这些法律和文化场所揭示了穆斯林与西方相遇的恐惧、恐惧、歇斯底里和欲望。
从种族主义的角度来看，没有什么是有意义的。有人认为，穆斯林的形象揭示了一个在应得者和可支配者之间分裂的世界，欧洲血统的人是前者，而所有其他人都以各种方式被限制在可支配的政权之下。从批判性种族理论出发，并与仇视伊斯兰教/批判性宗教研究相衔接，它表明反穆斯林种族主义是了解白人至上作为一种全球力量运作的一个启示性窗口。
Nothing Has to Make Sense: Upholding White Supremacy through Anti-Muslim Racism
Series: Muslim International
How Western nations have consolidated their whiteness through the figure of the Muslim in the post-9/11 world
While much has been written about post-9/11 anti-Muslim racism (often termed Islamophobia), insufficient attention has been given to how anti-Muslim racism operates through law and is a vital part of law’s protection of whiteness. This book fills this gap while also providing a unique new global perspective on white supremacy. Sherene H. Razack, a leading critical race and feminist scholar, takes an innovative approach by situating law within media discourses and historical and contemporary realities. We may think of law as logical, but, argues Razack, its logic breaks down when the subject is Muslim.
Tracing how white subjects and majority-white nations in the post-9/11 era have consolidated their whiteness through the figure of the Muslim, Razack examines four sites of anti-Muslim racism: efforts by American evangelical Christians to ban Islam in the school curriculum; Canadian and European bans on Muslim women’s clothing; racial science and the sentencing of Muslims as terrorists; and American national memory of the torture of Muslims during wars and occupations. Arguing that nothing has to make sense when the subject is Muslim, she maintains that these legal and cultural sites reveal the dread, phobia, hysteria, and desire that mark the encounter between Muslims and the West.
Through the prism of racism, Nothing Has to Make Sense argues that the figure of the Muslim reveals a world divided between the deserving and the disposable, where people of European origin are the former and all others are confined in various ways to regimes of disposability. Emerging from critical race theory, and bridging with Islamophobia/critical religious studies, it demonstrates that anti-Muslim racism is a revelatory window into the operation of white supremacy as a global force.
