Black Muslims in the US: History, Politics, and the Struggle of a Community - Softcover

"Samory Rashid's Black Muslims in the US is the most comprehensive attempt to show that Islamic practices survived among enslaved Africans and their descendants in the US, though they were not always observable. Referencing seldom-mentioned social and political theories, he successfully challenges well-known studies of the historical Muslim presence in America, which tend to 'marginalize' early African Muslims and their progeny. This work is an insightful addition to the literature on Muslim Americans. It will undoubtedly stimulate further study not only of Muslims in the US, but also of Muslims in the Americas."
