In case studies that include the Caribbean, Latin America, and the
United States, the contributors to this interdisciplinary volume
trace the establishment of Islam in the Americas over the past
three centuries. They simultaneously explore Muslims' lived
experiences and examine the ways Islam has been shaped in the
"Muslim minority" societies in the New World, including the Gilded
Age's fascination with Orientalism, the gendered interpretations of
doctrine among Muslim immigrants and local converts, the embrace of
Islam by African American activist-intellectuals like Malcolm X,
and the ways transnational hip hop artists re-create and reimagine
Muslim identities.Together, these essays challenge the typical view
of Islam as timeless, predictable, and opposed to Western
worldviews and value systems, showing how this religious tradition
continually engages with local and global issues of culture,
gender, class, and race.
