met Farid Hafez (College of William & Mary, VS), DIA, together with the Research group Global Islam, UvA

In his latest book on the governance of Islam in Austria and Germany, Farid Hafez shows how the state aims to regulate and govern a racialized version of Islam and Muslims, grounded in history. After analyzing the Austro-Hungarian rule over Bosnia and Hercegovina and the German Kaiserreich’s rule in Tanzania, Togo, and Cameroon in respect to its Muslim subjects, he argues that the continuities with the Nazi Reich’s incorporation of Muslims in its polity as well as contemporary Islam policies in postwar Austria and Germany are striking.
