"This book offers new ways of constellating the literary and cinematic delineations
of Indian and Pakistani Muslim diasporic and migrant trajectories narrated in the
two decades after the 9/11 attacks. Focusing on four Pakistani English novels and
four Indian Hindi films, it examines the aesthetic complexities of staging the historical
nexus of global conflicts and unravels the multiple layers of discourses underlying
the notions of diaspora, citizenship, nation and home. It scrutinises the "flirtatious"
nature of transnational desires and their role in building glocal safety valves for
inclusion and archiving a planetary vision of trauma. It also provides a fresh perspective
on the role of Pakistani English novels and mainstream Hindi films in tracing the
multiple origins and shifts in national xenophobic practices, and negotiating multiple
modalities of political and cultural belonging. It discusses various books and films
including The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Burnt Shadows, My Name is Khan, New York,
Exit West, Home Fire, AirLift and Tiger Zinda Hai. In light of the twentieth anniversary
of 9/11 attacks, current debates on terror, war, paranoid national imaginaries and
the suspicion towards migratory movements of refugees, this book makes a significant
contribution to the interdisciplinary debates on border controls and human precarity.
A crucial work in transnational and diaspora criticism, it will be of great interest
to researchers of literature and culture studies, media studies, politics, film studies,
and South Asian studies"
