Who Is a Muslim?

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Who Is a Muslim? by Maryam Wasif Khan, published by Fordham University Press in 2021. This compelling work spans 277 pages and challenges conventional narratives of postcolonial literary histories. Khan focuses on the Urdu vernacular of North India, revealing how it has been intricately shaped by themes of piety, national identity, and citizenship. Rather than being a secular or progressive language, Urdu emerges as a powerful authority in the discourse surrounding these critical issues. This new edition invites readers to rethink their understanding of cultural and religious identities in a contemporary context. Ideal for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the complexities of language and identity, Who Is a Muslim? is a must-read that promises to spark meaningful discussions.
