Beschreibung:
Karine Walther is an Assistant Professor of History at the School of Foreign Service in Qatar. She holds a PhD in history from Columbia University, a Maitrise and Licence in Sociology from the University of Paris VIII and a BA in American Studies from the University of Texas, Austin.
Examines the deep history of American Islamophobia, showing how negative perceptions of Islam and Muslims shaped US foreign relations from the Early Republic to the end of World War I. This is a vital exploration of the crucial role the United States played in the Islamic world during the long nineteenth century - an interaction that shaped a historical legacy that remains with us today.
