Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 7
Abstract
The literature of the diaspora in many ways records the basic human desire for survival as well as the 'urge of becoming' overcoming the stiff resistance and confrontations that the host countries and communities had have inflicted upon the small yet strong-willed people. The Muslim communities all over the world had faced stiff challenges from time time and asserted themselves and their love for freedom in many literary pieces. In the wake of 9/11 attack of terror on America, Muslim diaspora all over the world, especially in the Western countries has been subjected to humiliation and alienation. The Western countries have become conservative in their outlook of the Muslim communities all over the world. In the name of safeguarding the national cause, the governments of the western countries have been over-board.The people of the Muslim diaspora have calmly weathered the ignominy and resisted the western dubbing in their writings.This article aims at probing the Muslim diasporic consciousness in pre and post 9/11 time through the eyes of both the Muslim diasporic writers and the western writers.It also aims at unravelling the fractured, battered psyche of the Muslim diasporic people as is revealed in the multifarious discourses of the writers.
