Islam and Postcolonial Discourse (eBook, ePUB)

Purity and Hybridity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Largely, though not exclusively, as a legacy of the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, Islamic faith has become synonymous in many corners of the media and academia with violence, which many believe to be its primary mode of expression. Responding to the growing importance of religion, specifically Islam, as a cultural signifier in the formation of postcolonial subjectivity, this collection enlarges our understanding of the full range of experiences within Islam as well as the figure of the Muslim.
