Postsecular re-thinking. 330 $aLargely, though not exclusively, as a legacy of the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, Islamic faith has become synonymous in many corners of the media and academia with violence, which many believe to be its primary mode of expression. The absence of a sophisticated recognition of the wide range of Islamic subjectivities within contemporary culture has created a void in which misinterpretations and hostilities thrive. Responding to the growing importance of religion, specifically Islam, as a cultural signifier in the formation of a postcolonial self, this multidisciplinary collection is organized around contested terms such as secularism, Islamopolitics, female identity, and Islamophobia. The overarching goal of the contributors is to facilitate a deeper understanding of the full range of experiences within Islam as well as the figure of the Muslim, thus enabling a new set of questions about religion's role in shaping postcolonial identity. 606 $aMuslims in literature 606 $aIslam in literature 615 0$aMuslims in literature. 615 0$aIslam in literature. 676 $a305.6/97 701 $aMcClung$b James E$0940026 701 $aSantesso$b Esra Mirze$0940027 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162788403321 996 $aIslam and postcolonial discourse$92119479 997 $aUNINA
