Omschrijving
Poetry of Belonging interlaces, in a scholarly and readable fashion,many critical conversations spanning various disciplines, including history, religious studies and literary studies, to tell complicated stories of Muslims' conceptions of being and belonging in South Asia between 1850-1950....Mahmudabad ends his book not in his own words but with Mahbub's couplet : "I will gather twigs once again from this garden to build my nest/ For my home was set ablaze and I have all the time in the world." This endearing choice—to give the last word to a poet—captures well the genuine love for poetry that radiates throughout the book.
