Summary Note One minute you're a 15-year-old girl who loves Netflix and music and the next minute you're looked at as maybe ISIS. We now have a generation, Muslim and non-Muslim, who has grown up only knowing a world at war on terror, and who has been socialised in a climate of widespread Islamophobia, surveillance and suspicion. This book interrogates the impact of all this on young people's political consciousness and their trust towards adults and the societies they live in. Drawing on local interviews but global in scope, this book is the first to examine the lives of a generation for whom the rise of the far-right and the growing polarisation of politics seem normal. It's about time we hear what they have to say.
