AB Part of a special issue on race, racism, and empire in the Canadian context. In a review essay, the writer considers three books that highlight the confluence taking place between Western feminism and racism. The three books are The Rage and the Pride, by Orianna Fallaci; The New Anti-Semitism, by Phyllis Chesler; and The Trouble With Islam, by Irshad Manji. These books all advance the idea of a culture clash of epic proportion between the West and Islam. The writer examines the notion of “culture clash” and the role of gender and modern/pre-modern racial logic in its construction; demonstrates how the culture clash argument is integral to characterizing the Muslim man as a threat to all women; and connects culture clash and the idea of Muslim male violence to the representations of the Israel-Palestine conflict in Chesler and Manji's books.
