| Özet: | Surveying several conflicts, conversations, and the convergence of prejudices and fears in the Americas, this essay explores the linkages between Latin America and the Caribbean and the U.S. led global “War on Terror.” Examining the parallels in politics, media, and rhetoric in places such as Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, and the U.S., this essay examines how Muslims occupy a tenuous space in Latin American and Caribbean public spheres. Overall, it argues that the place of Islam and the lives of Muslim communities in the Americas are inherently intertwined with both local issues of societal concern, social justice, and class and the broader assumptions and far-reaching frames of U.S. politics and that nation’s leadership in the global “War on Terror.” |
