For the writers and artists in In-Between Identities: Signs of
Islam in Contemporary American Writing, contemporary Muslim
American identity is neither singular nor fixed. Rather than
dismiss the tradition in favor of more secular approaches, however,
all of the figures here discover in Muhammad's revelation resources
for affirming such uncertainty. For them, the Qur'anic notion of a
divine "sign" validates creation, even that creativity born of
contrasting if not competing assumptions about identity. To develop
this claim, individual chapters in the book discuss Muslim faith in
the work of poets Naomi Shihab Nye, Kazim Ali, Tyson Amir and Amir
Sulaiman; novelists Mohja Kahf, Rabih Alameddine, and Willow
Wilson; illustrator Sandow Birk; playwright Ayad Akhtar; and the
online record of the 30 Mosques in 30 Days project.
