Dr Nasar Meer is a Reader and co-Director of the Centre for Civil Society and Citizenship, in the Department of Social Sciences at Northumbria University, UK.

This volume locates the contemporary study of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia squarely within the fields of race and racism, challenging the extent to which discussion of the racialization of these minorities remains unrelated to each other.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
