About the Author:
V. S. Naipaul was born, of Indian ancestry, in Trinidad in 1932 and emigrated to England in 1950. He spent four years at University College, Oxford, and began to write, in London, in 1954. He has pursued no other profession.
His works of fiction include: The Mystic Masseur (1957, John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize); The Suffrage of Elvira (1958); Miguel Street (1959, Somerset Maugham Award); A House for Mr Biswas (1961); Mr Stone and the Knights Companion (1963, Hawthornden Prize); The Mimic Men (1967, W.

"A superlative traveler who misses nothing worth the record."--The Times (London)
Beyond Belief is a book about one of the more important and unsettling issues of our time: the effects of the Islamic conversion of Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, and Malaysia. It is not a book of opinion. It is--in the Naipaul way--a very rich and human book, full of people and stories.
Islam is an Arab religion, and it makes imperial Arabizing demands on its converts. In this way it is more than a private faith, and it can become a neurosis. What has this Arab Islam done to the histories of these converted countries? How do the converted peoples, non-Arabs, view their past--and their future?
