Description
Islam in the African-American Experience, Second Edition by Richard Brent Turner explores the complex and often overlooked history of black Americans with Islam. From its roots in the Middle East, West Africa, and antebellum America to the modern-day movements that have shaped the African American Muslim experience, this book delves into the intricate relationships between race, ethics, and politics that have influenced the reception of Islam. The second edition features a new introduction that discusses developments since the earlier edition, including the impact of global events on the African American Muslim community. Turner's work provides a nuanced understanding of the diverse ways in which black Americans have engaged with Islam, from the West African Islam of slaves to the Nation of Islam. This book is highly recommended for those interested in the history and culture of African American Muslims, as well as scholars and researchers seeking to understand the complex intersections between religion, identity, and social justice.
