Description

Islam and Blackness by Jonathan A.C. Brown explores the complex relationship between Islam and blackness, challenging common claims that the faith is inherently antiblack. Brown examines Islamic scripture, law, Sufism, and history to understand how this accusation emerged and its origins in conservative politics, modern Afrocentrism, and historical enslavement. The author delves into the imagery of 'blackened faces' in the Quran, Shariah assessments of Black women, and assertions that Islam is foreign to Africa. This in-depth study sheds light on the controversial knot of Islam and blackness, highlighting authoritative voices from Islam's past who are crucial for combating antiblack racism today. By interrogating the scriptural foundations and traditions of law, spirituality, and theology, Brown provides a comprehensive analysis of this complex issue.
