They must contend with popular cultural representations of Muslim-men-as-terrorists and Muslim-women-as-oppressed, the suspicious gaze of peers, teachers, and strangers, and police, and the fierce embodiment of fears in their homes. With great attention to quantitative and qualitative detail, the authors provide heartbreaking and funny stories of discrimination and resistance, delivering hard to ignore statistical evidence Notes Print version record Subject Social psychology -- Research -- United States -- Methodology Ethnicity -- Research -- United States -- Methodology Youth -- United States -- Interviews Youth -- United States -- Social conditions Youth -- United States -- Psychology Muslims -- United States -- Interviews Muslims -- United States -- Social conditions Muslims -- United States -- Psychology Muslims -- United States -- Ethnic identity PSYCHOLOGY -- Developmental -- Adolescent.
