This book explores the representation of queer migrant Muslims in
international literature and film from the 1980s to the present
day. Bringing together a variety of contemporary writers and
filmmakers of Muslim heritage engaged in vindicating same-sex
desire, the book approaches queer Muslims in the diaspora as
figures forced to negotiate their identities according to the
expectations of the West and of their migrant Muslim communities.
The book examines 3 main themes: the depiction of queer desire
across racial and national borders, the negotiation of Islamic
femininities and masculinities, and the positioning of the queer
Muslim self in time and place. This study will be of interest to
scholars, as well as to advanced general readers and postgraduate
students, interested in Muslims, queerness, diaspora and
postcolonialism. It brings nuance and complexity to an often
simplified and controversial topic. -- .
