Creative workers like actors, producers, and writers come to L.A. to pursue dreams of stardom, especially in the Hollywood film and television media industries. For most, a “big break” into their chosen field remains perpetually out of reach despite their constant efforts. Expensive workshops like acting classes, networking events, and chance encounters are seen as keys to Hollywood success. Within this world, rumors swirl of big breaks for devotees in the city’s spiritual and religious organizations. For others, it is in consultations with local spiritual advisors like professional psychics that they navigate everyday decisions of how to achieve success in Hollywood.

  • Beyond and Back to the Black-White Binary: Muslims and Race-Making in the United States
    BEYOND AND BACK TO THE BLACK-WHITE BINARY: MUSLIMS AND RACE-MAKING IN THE UNITED STATES Atiya Husain A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Karolyn D. Tyson Charles Kurzman Andrew Perrin Linda Burton Matthew W. Hughey © 2017 Atiya Husain ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Atiya Husain: Beyond and Back to the Black-White Binary: Muslims and Race-Making in the United States (Under the direction of: Dr. Karolyn D. Tyson) Scholars tracing the history of the concept of “race” refer briefly to how religion was the primary way of conceiving of difference among peoples in the premodern era. Basic western binaries like Christian/heathen and civilized/savage coalesced into the contemporary black-white binary. Moments like 9/11 and the consequent “racialization of Muslims” have brought this historic relationship between race and religion to the fore. To understand the post-9/11 moment, Muslim racialization literature argues that a new de facto racial group emerged after 9/11, but does not examine how this group fits into the existing black-white binary based US racial structure. Literature on the black-white binary meanwhile offers valuable theory for analysis of racial structures, yet overlooks the role religion has played in building these structures. This study fills these gaps in the literatures on Muslim racialization and the black-white racial binary by situating Muslims in the US relative to the black-white racial order.
