{"product_id":"9781978830455","title":"Politicizing Islam in Austria : The Far-Right Impact in the Twenty-First Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong its Continental peers, Austria has stood out for its longstanding state recognition of the Muslim community as early as 1912. A shift has occurred more recently, however, as populist far-right voices within the Austrian government have redirected public discourse and put into question Islam's previously accepted autonomous status within the country. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePoliticizing Islam in Austria examines this anti-Muslim swerve in Austrian politics through a comprehensive analysis of government policies and regulations, as well as party and public discourses. In their innovative study, Hafez and Heinisch show how the far-right Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) adapted anti-Muslim discourse to their political purposes and how that discourse was then appropriated by the conservative center-right Austrian People's Party (ÖVP). This reconfiguration of the political landscape prepared the way for a right-wing coalition government between conservatives and far-right actors that would subsequently institutionalize anti-Muslim political demands and change the shape of the civic conditions and public perceptions of Islam and the Muslim community in the republic. \n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031513506027,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":219.74,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781978830455","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
