How do academic spaces perpetuate racial and religious inequalities, and what can be done to challenge them?

This thought-provoking book examines the intersections of ethnicity, faith and class with a focus on British South Asian Muslim identity. Drawing on ethnographic insights and theoretical frameworks such as postcoloniality, orientalism and hybridity, the author unpacks representations of race, religion and Islamophobia in both academic and public discourse. By connecting historical legacies of imperialism with contemporary inequalities, the book offers both critical analysis and practical suggestions for action.

Written in an accessible yet provocative style, this book is set to spark vital conversations and inspire meaningful interventions in higher education and beyond.

Yunis Alam is Head of Sociology and Criminology at the University of Bradford.
