Muslims in the Manosphere: A Discussion with Shareef Muhammad

In this episode Hizer Mir and his co-author Sahar Ghumkhor talk to Shareef Muhammad about the phenomenon of Muslims in the Manosphere. Shareef is a scholar of history based in Atlanta, Georgia, who works on Muslims, race and third worldism - especially the experience of Black Muslims in the context of imperial America. This interview results from an article Sahar and Hizer wrote about the Muslim Manosphere, which observes the behaviour of Muslim men in alt right online spaces. Together with Shareef, they explain what drives these Muslim men to make alarming alliances with the far-right white supremacist men they meet online, and what this means for their understanding of Muslim masculinity.
