On Nov. 30, 2021 Rutgers University Law School Professor Sahar Aziz gave a virtual talk on her recently published book, The Racial Muslim: When Racism Quashes Religious Freedom, which demonstrates how race and religion intersect to create what she calls the “Racial Muslim.” The program was moderated by Tanya Katerí Hernández, Archibald R. Murray Professor of Law at Fordham and presented by Fordham Law’s Center on Race, Law and Justice.
In conversation with Aziz at the event was John Tehranian, Paul W. Wildman Chair and Professor of Law at Southwestern Law School and author of the 2008 book titled Whitewashed: America’s Invisible Middle Eastern Minority. Similar to The Racial Muslim, Whitewashed also explores race and religion in America.
