Summary
'Lyrical and uncompromising—Suhaiymah writes to disrupt'—gal-dem
Islamophobia is everywhere. It is a narrative and history woven so deeply into our everyday lives that we don’t even notice it–in our education, how we travel, our healthcare, legal system and at work. Behind the scenes it affects the most vulnerable, at the border and in prisons. Despite this, the conversation about Islamophobia is relegated to microaggressions and slurs.
In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan reveals how Islamophobia not only lives under the skin of those who it marks, but is an international political project designed to divide people in the name of security, in order to materially benefit global stakeholders. It can only be truly uprooted when we focus not on what it is but what it does.
Tangled in Terror shows that until the most marginalised Muslims are safe, nobody is safe.
Critic reviews
"Courageously makes explicit the implicit unfreedoms of our society." (Lowkey, rapper and activist)
"I am profoundly grateful to Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan for writing this book. It is brave. It is necessary. It is true. It is what we Muslims have been waiting for. A brilliant, powerful and moving account of Islamophobia, not as an individual moral deficiency, but as rooted in colonial histories of white supremacy and global capitalism. For me, Tangled in Terror triggered long-felt pain, anger, grief at the abuse, torture and genocidal violence Muslims are made to suffer the world over. Violence which not only evades accountability, but seems at times not even to register as harm. Manzoor-Khan carefully traces the origins and shape of the historical and ongoing terrorisation of Muslims, revealing untold injustices, and showing us how to untangle ourselves from terror and instead find threads of resistance." (Nadine El-Enany, author of '(B)ordering Britain' and Co-Director of the Centre for Research on Race and Law)
"A fearless writer who cuts through nonsense. Suhaiymah's voice is one of the most exciting of her generation." (Fatima Manji, award-winning broadcaster and journalist for Channel 4 News)
