Secularism and the Crisis of Minority Identity in Postcolonial Literature

Explore the intricate relationship between secularism and minority identity in Roger McNamara's thought-provoking book, Secularism and the Crisis of Minority Identity in Postcolonial Literature, published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2018. Spanning 198 pages, this hardback edition delves into the critical impact of secularism and modernity on the identities of marginalized groups in South Asia, particularly in India and Sri Lanka.

McNamara presents a compelling argument that the challenges faced by minorities are not merely a result of external pressures, but also reflections of their resilience and creativity in literature.
