Gender, Islamophobia and Romaphobia: Intersectional Insights

Islamophobia and Romaphobia or anti-gypsyism remain among the most significant, yet seemingly normalised racisms on the continent, if not across the globe. Both of these forms of racism have historical rootings and distinct gendered dimensions. This chapter seeks to understand and define how gendered Islamophobia and gendered Romaphobia can be understood through theoretical lenses to understand the intersections of the two, and I look forward to potential future research avenues in this novel area of inquiry.
