Abstract
Pese a la asunción de que la izquierda es de por sí antirracista, en los discursos y en la práctica política de la izquierda española la lucha contra el racismo ha solido tener un espacio limitado que solo se amplía de manera coyuntural, y su presencia ha sido aún más marginal en la literatura analítica. La islamofobia, forma de racismo específico contra las personas musulmanas o leídas como tales, no ha recibido hasta ahora una particular atención. El espacio político posterior al 15 M ha heredado estos mimbres. Sin embargo, desde tiempos muy recientes se está verificando un mayor interés por el racismo y el antirracismo en el mercado discursivo de la izquierda, así como un incipiente interés por la islamofobia, debido a una serie de factores que se analizan en este artículo atendiendo a las lógicas internas tanto del campo político como del campo específico del activismo de izquierdas.
Despite the assumption that the Left is in itself anti-racist, in discourses and political practice of the Spanish Left, the fight against racism has often had a limited space that only expands in a temporary way, and its presence has been even more marginal in analytical literature. Islamophobia, a form of specific racism against Muslim people or considered as such, has not received particular attention. The political space after 15 M has inherited these characteristics. However, since recent times, there has been a greater interest in racism and anti-racism in the discursive market of the left, as well as an incipient interest in islamophobia, due to a series of factors analyzed in this article according to the internal logic of both the political field and the specific field of leftist activism.
