The Rushdie affair, September 11 2001 and 7/7 pushed British
Muslims into the forefront of increasingly fraught debate about
multiculturalism. Stereotyping images have proliferated, reducing a
heterogeneous minority group to a series of media soundbites. This
book examines contemporary literary representations of Muslims by
British writers of South Asian Muslim descent - including Salman
Rushdie, Hanif Kureishi, Monica Ali and Nadeem Aslam - to explore
the contribution they make to urgent questions about multicultural
politics and the place of Muslims within Britain. By focusing on
class, and its intersection with faith, 'race' and gender in
identity- and community-formation, it challenges the dichotomy of
secular freedom versus religious oppression that constrains
thinking about British Muslims, and offers a more nuanced
perspective on multicultural debates and controversies. Writing
British Muslims will appeal to academics and postgraduate and
final-year undergraduate students in the fields of postcolonial
studies, English studies and cultural studies. -- .
