Examining a wide range of genres, including novels, memoirs, travel
writing and journalism, this book explores representations of
Muslims and Islam in modern English literature. The 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,
the Gulf War and 9/11. Examining the wide range of writing
internationally that takes Islam or Islamic cultures as its focus,
the authors discuss the representation of Muslim identity in
writing by non-Muslim writers, former Muslim 'native informants',
and practising Muslims.
