Summary
How Western nations have consolidated their whiteness through the figure of the Muslim in the post-9⁄11 world
While much has been written about post-9⁄11 anti-Muslim racism (often termed Islamophobia), insufficient attention has been given to how anti-Muslim racism operates through law and is a vital part of law’s protection of whiteness.

Critics Review
“Boldly and elegantly, Sherene H. Razack lays bare the affective, legal, and material worlds that protect white supremacy and anti-Muslim racism. Theoretically rigorous while highly accessible, Nothing Has to Make Sense is one of the most urgent books on anti-Muslim racism of our times and a must read for anyone looking for an unflinching analysis of race, class, gender, sexuality, and empire.”-Nadine Naber, University of Illinois Chicago
“This is an essential text on race and racisms today, as well as the shifting language of white supremacy in Europe and North America, and their impact globally. We cannot understand the Global North without this timely and persuasive analysis of anti-Muslim affect as the link between Christianity, whiteness, and the colonial phantasms lurking in law and racial sciences. This is a crucial book for our times.”-Inderpal Grewal, Yale University
