Negotiating past and present for a new identity. Contemporary Canadian Muslim writers and their manifold approaches

The paper explores the identity negotiations of contemporary Muslim writers in Canada, focusing on works from the last decade. It examines how these authors, who come from a migrational background rooted in the Muslim world, engage with the concept of identity through their novels. The analysis highlights the thematic and generic diversity in their writings, emphasizing their significant contributions to Canadian literature and the pluralistic nature of their identity concepts, which continue to enrich the literary landscape.
