Who Is a Muslim?

Orientalism and Literary Populisms

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Who is a Muslim? destabilizes traditional constructions of postcolonial literary histories through the specific example of Urdu by suggesting that this North-India vernacular, far from secular or progressive, has been shaped as the authority designate around the intertwined questions of piety, national identity, and citizenship.
