Rethinking Identities in Contemporary Pakistani Fiction: Beyond 9/11 by A. Kanwal (Author)

Rethinking Identities in Contemporary Pakistani Fiction: Beyond 9/11

This book focuses on the way that notions of home and identity have changed for Muslims as a result of international 'war on terror' rhetoric. It uniquely links the post-9/11 stereotyping of Muslims and Islam in the West to the roots of current jihadism and the resurgence of ethnocentrism within the subcontinent and beyond.
