"Islam in the Eastern African Novel engages the novels of three
important eastern African novelists--Nuruddin Farah, Abdulrazak
Gurnah, and M. G. Vassanji--by centering Islam as an interpretive
lens and critical framework. Mirmotahari argues that recognizing
the centrality of Islam in the fictional works of these three
novelists has important consequences for the theoretical and
conceptual conversations that characterize the study of African
literature. The overdue and sustained attention to Islam in these
works complicates the narrative of coloniality, the nature of the
nation and the nation-state, the experience of diaspora and exile,
the meaning of indigenaity, and even the form and history of the
novel itself"--
