Introductory notes
This selective list of materials is divided into five sub-sections according to genre:
A Newspaper articles and blog posts B Journal and journal-style articles C Reports D Books E Speeches, lectures and talks
In addition there’s a brief sub-section F on addressing Islamophobia through education. This contains references to several different kinds of genre, including educational materials designed for use in school classrooms.
Most items in all sub-sections, apart from the sub-section on books, are available free of charge on the internet, and their URLs are provided.
The overall list was last updated in April 2013. Suggestions for additions are welcome.
Most items were published within the last three years. A handful, though, were published rather earlier. ______
