Challenging incarceration and policing was central to the postwar
Black Freedom Movement. In this bold new political and intellectual
history of the Nation of Islam, Garrett Felber centers the Nation
in the Civil Rights Era and the making of the modern carceral
state. The book examines efforts to build broad-based grassroots
coalitions among liberals, radicals, and nationalists to oppose the
carceral state and struggle for local Black self-determination. It
captures the ambiguous place of the Nation of Islam specifically,
and Black nationalist organizing more broadly, during an era which
has come to be defined by nonviolent resistance, desegregation
campaigns, and racial liberalism. Exhaustively researched, Felber
illuminates new sites and forms of political struggle as Muslims
prayed under surveillance in prison yards and used courtroom
political theater to put the state on trial. This history captures
familiar figures in new ways--Malcolm X the courtroom lawyer and A.
Philip Randolph the Harlem coalition builder--while highlighting
the forgotten organizing of rank-and-file activists in prisons such
as Martin Sostre. This definitive account is a halting reminder
that Islamophobia, state surveillance, and police violence have
deep roots in the state repression of Black Muslim communities.
