Anti-racist Discourse on Muslims in the Australian Parliament is a very important and original contribution to the issue of anti-racist discourse on Muslims. It pays special attention to the Australian situation, but many of its insights go far beyond the geographical focus on Australia. The book’s methodological strength lies in the convincing adaptation and further development of the Discourse Historical Approach, not least by combining it with corpus linguistics methods. The book clearly demonstrates the fluidity of concepts such as ‘race’. It lucidly shows how easily these concepts can be manipulated for political purposes, and how religion and culture can give rise to racism. The book makes a significant contribution to both academic and activist anti-racist discourse.
