This study of the sub-Saharan African novel interprets representations of Islam as a central organising presence that generates new conceptual questions and demands new critical frameworks with which to approach categories like nationhood, race, diaspora, immigration, and Africa's multiple colonial pasts.
Islam in the Eastern African Novel offers an idiosyncratic perspective on the sub-Saharan African novel by engaging three novelists from eastern Africa-Nuruddin Farah, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and M. G. Vassanji. Mirmotahari argues that Islam is not an incidental factor in the fiction produced by these writers, but a central presence that renews conversations about nationhood, race, diaspora, coloniality, and the novel itself as a form in a sub-Saharan African and postcolonial context.
