Muslim Masculinities in Literature and Film

[Cherry's] work makes an excellent contribution to Muslim cultural studies and masculinity studies, successfully revealing that Muslim masculinities in the UK are highly diverse, and that transcultural interactions have the capacity to substantially transform British Muslim masculinities. * Journal of Muslims in Europe * This is a timely and important work on British Muslim masculinities which deals with its subject with sensitivity and sophistication. Drawing on established critical frameworks to do with masculinity, race and ethnicity, migration and ‘Britishness’, this book offers new and revealing insights into contemporary British fiction. -- Brian Baker, Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Writing, Lancaster University, UK ‘Muslim Masculinities in Literature and Film is elegantly written, drawing on an admirable range of primary and secondary sources with wit, accessibility, and nuance. The book also has ‘real-world impact’, originality, scholarly weight, and political urgency.’ * Claire Chambers, Professor of Global Literature, University of York, UK * Muslim Masculinities in Literature and Film is in itself very rich, suited to be the main read of an elective course on a MA programme, complete with advanced theories and all. There is lots to explore and learn from. * Jonas Otterbeck, Professor of Islamic Studies, Aga Khan University, UK *
