ITEM OVERVIEW
The Patriot Act and new immigration laws primarily aimed at Muslims and Arabs have expanded federal powers. This volume exposes the impact of these new governmental powers on Muslims and Arabs, as well as other groups and individuals targeted as part of the Bush administration's "war on terror." The contributors—including Smith Farsoun, Naseer Aruri, Susan Akram, Nancy Murray, Robert Morlino, and Will Youmans—show how ordinary people can resist these attacks on our fundamental rights.
"These careful and informative inquiries provide much insight into some of the central issues of contemporary world affairs, at home and abroad." —Noam Chomsky
"Hagopian, one of the country's most respected analysts of Middle East affairs, has brought together a group of astute commentators who give us a refreshingly critical view of the current demonization of Muslims and Arabs. What she and the others make clear is the deadly connection between this phenomenon and US behavior in the Middle East." —Howard Zinn
