Monsieur Pamplemousse Rests His Case by Michael Bond

Queer Muslims are usually the subjects of both Islamophobia and homophobia. This timely study considers how they represent themselves in their own terms. Queer Muslim diasporas in contemporary literature and film approaches queer Muslims as figures forced to negotiate their identities according to the expectations of the West and of their migrant Muslim communities. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective via the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Sara Ahmed, Gayatri Gopinath and Jasbir K. Puar, amongst others, the book explores depictions of queer Muslims in the West as disorganising the social categories that make up contemporary western societies. The book takes three main focal points: the depiction of queer desire across racial and national borders, the negotiation of Islamic femininities and masculinities, and the positioning of the queer Muslim self in time and place. These thematic clusters allow us to appreciate the nuances and complexities of the artistic depiction of queer Muslims' mundane challenges to western Islamophobia and Islamicate heteronormativity. This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced general readers interested in Muslims, queerness, diaspora, and postcolonialism; final-year undergraduate students and postgraduate students at all levels will find it a valuable contribution to a controversial debate.
