In this book, Dr. Steven Kramer explores the complex, triangular relationship between the French Republic, Jews, and Muslims. It is the first book to compare the experience of French Jews and Muslims over the longue durée, tracing their experiences and interactions in both metropolitan France and the colonies under the evolving regime of laïcité. This historical and comparative approach does more than illuminate past and current tensions, it suggests how they may be resolved.

Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) is publishing new research on Latino views of American Muslims and Islam. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just under 20% of Americans are Latino, a sizable proportion of the American public. Demographic data from ISPU’s American Muslim Poll finds that 9% of Muslims in the United States are Latino. To better understand the reasons behind the lower levels of Islamophobia, ISPU partnered with IslamInSpanish to explore Latinos’ attitudes about American Muslims and Islam.
