Beyond the ''recruitable' narrative'? The fictive portrayal of Pakistani Christians in Nadeem Aslam's The Golden Legend
In seeming response to rising global interest in the condition of non-Muslims in parts of the Muslim world, recent fictions by anglophone Pakistani writers have explored how Pakistani Christians are positioned as lesser subjects. Such literature speaks to legitimate concerns about the welfare of religious minorities in Muslim-majority contexts, but also risks reproducing “‘recruitable’ narratives” which situate Christians and Muslims on either si…
Countervailing aesthetics? Depictions of British Muslims and the multicultural working class in post-7/7 art
This article considers the significance of artist Philip Gurrey’s 2008 series of portraits of members of multicultural working-class communities in Beeston, Leeds, in the social, political, and cultural context of the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings.

In his opinion, “the …

This antagonist is envisaged not as a potential partner who may be held in ‘converse’ — as the epigraph to Vigil (2008: n.p.) may imply — but as a …
Reframing ‘Violence’, Transforming Impressions
This paper looks at how images featured in artworks which I first encountered during a Residency at Lahore’s National College of Arts (NCA) in Spring 2012 engage with the theme of violence in an ‘Islamic Pakistan’ overshadowed on the one hand by the ongoing ‘war on terror’ and by the encroaching threat of ‘Talibanisation’ on the other. It asks how they may be read as interventions into contemporary global narratives around a suspect South Asian M…
