“In a time when Islam and its diverse adherents are the focus of both public and political hostility in Britain and elsewhere, considerations of the meanings of Muslim cultural and religious identity can provide substance to often facile discussions. Sk Sagir Ali’s book examines an exemplary range of literary texts that are part of the wider corpus of British Muslim fiction in light of contemporary concerns and theories around Islam, culture, identity, secularism, representation, and alterity. An engaged and wide-ranging account of an important body of fiction that speaks to contemporary theoretical concerns.” Priyamvada Gopal, University of Cambridge
