Essay from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, University of Marburg (Marburger Zentrum für Kanada-Studien), course: Journeys Across B/Orders in Canadian Studies, Marburg, 2022, language: English, abstract: This topic was also held as a lecture at the international conference "Journeys across B/Orders in Canadian Studies" at Marburg University in June ,2022. Life of Muslims in Canada has drastically been changed by the events of 9/11 and the Anti-terrorism Act of December 18th, 2001 which created new and static ethnic, cultural and religious borders – both visible and invisible – between Muslim communities and the ROC. It is exactly here where the group of Canadian Muslim writers (writers stemming from Muslim countries but now living and working in Canada) have tried to bring Islam and Muslim existence in the West closer to Canadian society while reflecting on what Larissa Lai calls a "politics and poetics of relation".
