Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index 330 8 $aThe 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 Muslims 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $2Literary studies: post-colonial literature 606 $aIslam and literature$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aMuslims in literature 606 $aMuslims$xEthnic identity 606 $aIslam and literature$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIslam and literature$xHistory 615 0$aMuslims in literature. 615 0$aMuslims$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aIslam and literature$xHistory 676 $a820.9/38297 700 $aNash$b Geoffrey$0288165 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790028303321 996 $aWriting Muslim identity$93867723 997 $aUNINA
