This study examines how novels by Leila Aboulela, Robin Yassin-Kassab, Diran Adebayo, David Dabydeen, Andrea Levy, and Bernardine Evaristo challenge exclusionary boundaries through representations of the mosque, the University of Oxford, and the plantation. Lisa Ahrens combines Foucault's theory of heterotopia with reader-response theory to explore the potential of Black British and British Muslim literature to destabilize exclusionary boundaries.

This study explores the themes of power, belonging, and exclusion in British society through an analysis of representations of the mosque, the University of Oxford, and the plantation in novels by Leila Aboulela, Robin Yassin-Kassab, Diran Adebayo, David Dabydeen, Andrea Levy, and Bernardine Evaristo. Lisa Ahrens employs Foucault's theory of heterotopia, combined with elements of Wolfgang Iser's reader-response theory, to examine the potential of Black British and British Muslim literature to challenge exclusionary boundaries. This approach reveals new perspectives on the intersections between space, power, and literature, enriching the discourses of Cultural and Literary Studies.
