Abstract
The present study illustrates the postmodern world's cultural diversity, multiplicity, constructedness, and subjectivity. It examines shift in perceptions of Muslims in post-9/11 society and highlights the emotional setbacks in America. The incident of 9/11 turn Americans against Muslims and show suspicion for them in every respect. It highlights the rejection of meta-narratives of absolute truth, identity, and objectivity, which causes a shift in perceptions. To address rebellious traits of the contemporary world, Naqvi’s Home Boy is selected as relevant information to achieve objectives. The study employed postmodernism as a theoretical framework under a qualitative paradigm to reflect the way Muslims’ identity is manipulated and exploited against them. Belsey's textual analysis (2013) guides the study, ensuring analysis beyond the surface level. The study reveals that Muslims' perceptions shift because of the biased and suspicious treatment they receive. Furthermore, metanarratives are challenged, which in turn favoured multiplicity, subjectivity, cultural heterogeneity, and constructedness in the contemporary era. Based on the results of the study it is concluded that Naqvi’s Home Boy can be investigated from perspectives of intersectionality and psychological lens.
