OH 43- Racializing the Ummah w/Rhea Rahman

Rhea Rahman joins the 43rd episode of Office Hours, a weekly Friday livestream, at its traditional 5pmET time to discuss her important recent book: Racializing the Ummah: Muslim Humanitarians beyond black, Brown, and White (Univ of Minnesota Press, 2025). It is an ethnographic study of Islamic Relief a Muslim charitable organization,, examining Muslim transnational philanthropy networks, the structures of racial capitalism at work, and the possibilities and limits of its strategic positioning in response to Islamophobia. Challenging and critical, it presents a textured analysis of complex phenomeno of great importance to understanding our world.
