Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam came to America's attention in
the 1960s and 1970s as a radical separatist African American social
and political group. But the movement was also a religious one.
Edward E. Curtis IV offers the first comprehensive examination of
the rituals, ethics, theologies, and religious narratives of the
Nation of Islam, showing how the movement combined elements of
Afro-Eurasian Islamic traditions with African American traditions
to create a new form of Islamic faith. Considering everything from
bean pies to religious cartoons, clothing styles to prayer rituals,
Curtis explains how the practice of Islam in the movement included
the disciplining and purifying of the black body, the reorientation
of African American historical consciousness toward the Muslim
world, an engagement with both mainstream Islamic texts and the
prophecies of Elijah Muhammad, and the development of a holistic
approach to political, religious, and social liberation. Curtis'
analysis pushes beyond essentialist ideas about what it means to be
Muslim and offers a view of the importance of local processes in
identity formation and the appropriation of Islamic traditions.
