This book explores subaltern subjecthood, resistance and sexual agency in the works of Muslim women writers from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh since the early twentieth century. Locating the Muslim woman in the fiction of these countries from a sub-continental locus, it incorporates concepts of race, diaspora, postcolonial feminism in its reading of selected texts along with precepts of Islamic feminist hermeneutics in the South Asian context. It rejects the homogenization of sub-continental Muslim women as a monolithic victim subject and focuses on the multiplicity of voices that emerge from their writing both in the colonial and the postcolonial contexts.
The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature, gender studies, cultural studies and South Asian studies.
