Episode Description

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, the United States is still mired in the Middle East. But the story of how the war on terror was fought at home is far less told, and America's history of anti-Muslim sentiment is one we have yet to fully contend with. 

In this episode, the Institute for Global Affairs' Jonathan Guyer is joined by journalist Rozina Ali, a New York Times Magazine contributor and author of the new book Seasons of Fury: Four Families and the Rise of Islamophobia in America. They discuss the mass surveillance of Muslims and immigrant communities after 9/11, how media narratives warped Americans' perception of their Muslim neighbors, and what accountability looks like when the war on terror never really ended.
