Abstract

Christopher Bail’s Terrified: How Anti-Muslim Fringe Organizations Became Mainstream is a fascinating and original contribution to the growing number of critical examination of Islamophobia in the United States, especially since 2001. Bail’s sociological study is the first quantitative study of anti-Muslim activism. The author clearly announces in the opening pages that “principle contribution” of his work is “a new theory that explains how cultural, social psychological, and structural processes combine to shape the evolution of shared understandings of social problems in the wake of crisis such as September 11th."
