      abstract = {Drawing upon law, politics, sociology, and gender studies,  this volume explores the ways in which the Muslim body is  stereotyped, interrogated, appropriated and demonized in  Western societies and subject to counter-terror legislation  and the suspension of human rights. The author examines the  intense scrutiny of Muslim womens dress and appearance, and  their experience of hate crimes, as well as how Muslim mens  bodies are emasculated, effeminized and subjected to  torture. Chapters explore a range of issues including  Western legislation and foreign policy against the Other,  orientalism, Islamophobia, masculinity, the intersection of  gender with nationalism and questions about diversity,  inclusion, religious freedom, citizenship and identity.  This text will be of interest to scholars and students  across a range of disciplines, including sociology, gender  studies, law, politics, cultural studies, international  relations, and human rights. Susan S.M. Edwards is  Professor in Law, Emerita at University of Buckingham and  has degrees in law and sociology. She is a barrister,  womens rights activist and campaigner. She has researched  and lectured around the world, including in the Middle  East.},
