Dabke Is Better Than a Thousand Lectures Against Islamophobia
What does it mean to dance a relationship to one stolen land, Palestine, from another stolen land, Haudenosaunee territory on Turtle Island? This article examines methodological considerations for researching what it means to belong to settler states as exiled and racialized people, while committed to Arab youth thriving and ethical lateral racial relations.

Islamophobia and Proximities to Whiteness
The existing Islamophobia 1 literature has come to illustrate how the Muslim subject “can at a moment’s notice be erected as [an] object of supervision and discipline” (Morey and Yaqin 2011: 5–6).

We articulate the ways spatiality and subjectivity are intertwined with how n…

Two exceptions to this are The Road to Mecca by Muhammad Asad (1954/2005), and Islam is a Foreign Country by Zareena Grewal (2014 Grewal, Z. (2014). Islam is a foreign country: American Muslims and the global crisis of authority. New York: NYU Press. [Google Scholar]), rich texts that span across six decades. Asad's …
