Recenzii

"The consistently engaging interviews within this collection will create a valuable reading list of some of the most acclaimed postcolonial novels of recent years. Chambers's dialogues with these writers offer a contextual basis for their texts in both politics and creative practice, and raise expectations for her next study." - Journal of Postcolonial Writing
"In recent years, numerous books focusing on the representation of British Muslims have been published . . . Rarely, however, have the voices of Muslims been at the forefront of these debates. Chambers' collection of interviews with some of Britain's most prominent authors of Muslim heritage seeks to address this imbalance . . . There is much to learn from these interviews, and it serves as a valuable introduction to an important part of Britain's contemporary literary landscape." - Ole Birk Laursen, Open University, UK
"Chambers has done a commendable job in bringing together writers of Muslim heritage with diverse backgrounds . . . The book is a valuable contribution to contemporary postcolonial scholarship and will prove useful for students and scholars alike." - Contemporary South Asia
'...scholars interested in contemporary literature that deals with multicultural Britain will find an important source book in Chambers' work.' - Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
