This book focuses on the struggles and strategies of the Muslim
woman immigrant to Britain after 9/11, as depicted in a group of
thematically-related novels published over the past decade. The
book looks at the work of Monica Ali, Leila Aboulela, Fadia Faqir,
Camilla Gibb, Kia Abdullah, Almas Khan and Nadeem Aslam - all of
whom raise questions about the integration of the Muslim woman who
has moved from a majority position in her Muslim homeland to a
minority position in her adopted home in Britain (usually London).
Drawing on the idea of 'disorientation' (a period of withdrawal,
confusion and alienation experienced by the Muslim woman after
arrival in the West), this book argues for a greater focus on
religion as an element of immigrant identity-creation, ultimately
showing that the heterogeneity of immigrant religious experience
requires a new and more complex understanding of diasporic
existence.
