Debates on antisemitism and Islamophobia have developed largely apart from race scholarship.

Evidence

It is striking to observe the virtual absence of an established literature on race and racism in the discussion of Islamophobia; something that is only marginally more present in the discussion of antisemitism. This special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies locates the contemporary study of antisemitism and Islamophobia squarely within the fields of race and racism. As such it problematizes the extent to which discussion of the racialization of these minorities remains unrelated to each other, or is explored in distinct silos as a series of internal debates. — Nasar Meer, Racialization and Religion, 10

Categorization

• SEED: A possible essay: the institutional and intellectual costs of studying group hatreds in ‘silos’ rather than through shared frameworks of race and racialization.
• XREF: Connects to the modern study of racism and racialization in sociology and critical race theory; also parallels how ‘cultural’ prejudice toward Muslims gets coded as non-racial. — connects to: Jewish racialization varies with historical stability and splits along West-East rather than unified lines — Nasar Meer, Racialization and Religion: Race,…, 39; Antisemitism scholarship has neglected comparison with other racisms; Antisemitism scholarship asked the uniqueness question at the expense of comparative racism — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 494 (+4 more)
