This course focuses on South Asian immigrants’ experiences in the post 9/11 United States. We will watch and analyze South Asian (Bollywood and Lollywood) films about 9/11 like Khuda Kay Lie/In the Name of God (2007), New York (2009), My Name is Khan (2010), and The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013). Broadly the course explores post-colonial tropes in these films, and discusses how Brown, South Asian, and Muslim characters are racialized and conflated with extremists, terrorists, and a potential threat in the US. Major themes include trauma, identity crisis, representational injustice, Islamophobia, double-consciousness, xenophobia, rootlessness, stereotyping, and belonging.
