American and Muslim Worlds before 1900 challenges the prevailing
assumption that when we talk about "American and Muslim worlds", we
are talking about two conflicting entities that came into contact
with each other in the 20th century. Instead, this book shows there
is a long and deep seam of history between the two which provides
an important context for contemporary events -- and is also
important in its own right. Some of the earliest American Muslims
were the African slaves working in the plantations of the Carolinas
and Latin America. Thomas Jefferson, a slaveholder himself, was
frequently called an "infidel" and suspected of hidden Muslim
sympathies by his opponents. Whether it was the sale of American
commodities in Central Asia, Ottoman consuls in Washington,
orientalist themes in American fiction, the uprisings of enslaved
Muslims in Brazil, or the travels of American missionaries in the
Middle East, there was no shortage of opportunities for Muslims and
inhabitants of the Americas to meet, interact and shape one another
from an early period.
