Conclusion -- Bibliography -- IndexThe relationship between Islam and the West is one of the most urgent and hotly debated issues of our time. This book is the first to offer a comprehensive overview of the way in which Muslims are represented within modern English writing, ranging from the novel, through memoir and travel writing to journalism. Covering a wide range of texts and authors, it scrutinises the identity 'Muslim' by looking at its inscription in recent and contemporary literary writing within the context of significant events like the Rushdie Affair and 9/11. Examining the wide range of writing internationally that takes Islam or Islamic cultures as its focus, the author discusses the representation of Muslim identity in writing by non-Muslim writers, former Muslim 'native informants', and practising MuslimsEnglish literatureHistory and criticismLiterary studies: post-colonial literatureIslam and literatureHistory21st centuryMuslims in literatureMuslimsEthnic identityIslam and literatureHistory20th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Islam and literatureHistoryMuslims in literature.MuslimsEthnic identity.Islam and literatureHistory820.9/38297Nash Geoffrey288165UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910460971603321Writing Muslim identity2016676UNINA
