Muslims writing Britain and beyond: Faith, class and multicultural politics

This interdisciplinary project will explore British literary representations of Muslim cultures and identities. It will focus on writers of South Asian Muslim heritage, engaging with debates and controversies concerning the place of Muslims in the UK today, as well as with their historical presence and practices in the country from the early 20th century. Exploring authors including Salman Rushdie and Monica Ali, the project will consider how their texts reproduce, debate or destabilise ideological constructions of Muslim culture, and how they might inform debates about multiculturalism.
