Book Summary
This book provides the first book-length critical evaluation of representations
of Muslims from South Asia and its diaspora. It provides an analysis of
literary, cultural, media, and cinematic representations of South Asian Muslims
during the last few decades, and especially since September 11th, 2001.
Contributors contextualize these depictions against the burgeoning post-9/11
artistic interest in Islam, and also against cultural responses to earlier
crises on the subcontinent such as the Partition, the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war and
secession of Bangladesh, the 1992 Ayodhya riots and 2002 Gujarat genocide and
Kashmir. Chapters analyse fiction, short stories, memoir, poetry, and film, in
English as well as Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Arabic
