Unfolding Islamophobic Racism in American Fiction presents
Islamophobia as a manifestation of racism in literary texts to
understand American perspective of Islam and Muslims. By
deconstructing selected literary works of Lorrain Adams, John
Updike and Don Delillo within Fredrickson's notion of racism as
scavenger ideology, Humaira Riaz argues that fiction incorporates
racism cloaked in Islamophobia. The author concludes that
necessitating interfaith community interaction may help in
decreasing religious conflicts. Many of the Western and American
assumptions about Islam are generated from ignorance. This work
proposes a thorough discursive understanding of Islam as a code of
life.
Environmental Postcolonialism: A Literary Response is an academic
investigation of the environmental repercussions of colonial
destruction. This volume addresses the complex interplay between
postcolonialism and environmental discourse through literature
produced in the ex-colonies. This literature is read from the
standpoint of ex-colonies within their human and non-human context.
The primary objective of this volume is to scrutinize environmental
concerns in the light of postcolonial theory, and so it examines
works of art from the twin perspective of eco-criticism and
postcolonialism which illuminates and underscores how colonizers
destroyed and interfered with both nature and culture. Through
discussing the intersecting layers of ecocriticism and postcolonial
criticism, the volume gestures to new directions and generates a
hopeful vision of a decolonized world.
