DOI: https://doi.org/This study examines the representation of Muslim identity in four post-9/11 novels through the perspective of Raymond Williams' cultural materialism. Conceptualizing culture as an active, continuing process, this approach investigates how literary works narrate the political, economic, and social structures that shape collective awareness. The study investigates how literary novels actively contribute to the construction of identity and cultural discourse, rather than just reflecting social norms. The narratives intertwine with power dynamics, questioning and reopening the bordered terrains of knowledge around terrorism, migration, and globalization in relation to Muslim identity. By exploring the previously unexplored areas of the texts, this study uncovers how authors utilize literary devices and narrative techniques to depict the experiences and resilience of individual Muslims and communities, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of Muslim identity in contemporary literature.
