Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Muslims, dogs, and the constitution of American humanity. While existing scholarship has explored scriptural portrayals of dogs in Islam, the article focuses on the cultural effects of this perceived hostility towards dogs in the U.S. and situates this hostility within the legacy of canine abuse against bodies of color in the U.S. These historical links demonstrate the use of dogs in the dehumanization of communities of color in the U.S. and against Muslims specifically.
