Focussing on novels including \u003ci\u003eShalimar the Clown, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, The Wasted Vigil, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBurnt Shadows, \u003c\/i\u003e the author combines aesthetic, historical, political and spiritual considerations with analyses of the popular discourses and critical discussions surrounding the novels; and scrutinises how the writers have been appropriated as authentic spokespeople by dominant political and cultural forces. Finally, she explores how, as writers of Indian and Pakistani origin, Rushdie, Hamid, Aslam and Shamsie negotiate their identities, and the tensions of being seen to act as Muslim representatives, in relation to the complex international and geopolitical context in which they write.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Madeline Clements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137554371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137554376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Madeline Clements","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924172833023,"sku":"9781137554376","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e1aa23f5-a675-40bc-a2c6-b29c56cd0514.jpg?v=1681068898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-islam-from-a-south-madeline-clements-9781137554376","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
