This\u003cbr\u003ebook is the first to offer a comprehensive overview of the way in which Muslims\u003cbr\u003eare represented within modern English writing, ranging from the novel, through\u003cbr\u003ememoir and travel writing to journalism. Covering a wide range of texts and\u003cbr\u003eauthors, it scrutinises the identity 'Muslim' by looking at its inscription in\u003cbr\u003erecent and contemporary literary writing within the context of significant\u003cbr\u003eevents like the Rushdie Affair and 9\/11. Examining the wide range of writing\u003cbr\u003einternationally that takes Islam or Islamic cultures as its focus, the author\u003cbr\u003ediscusses the representation of Muslim identity in writing by non-Muslim\u003cbr\u003ewriters, former Muslim 'native informants', and practising Muslims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeoffrey Nash is Senior Lecturer\u003cbr\u003ein English at the University of Sunderland, UK.
