Islam is a hidden ingredient in the melting pot of America. Though
there are between 2 and 8 million Muslims in the USA, Islam has
traditionally had little political clout compared to other minority
faiths. Nonetheless it is believed to be the country's
fastest-growing religion, with a vibrant culture of theological
debate, particularly regarding the role of women preachers. In
Islam in America, Jonathan Curiel traces the story of America's
Muslims from the seventeenth-century slave trade to the
eighteenth-century immigration wave to the Nation of Islam. Drawing
on interviews in communities from industrial Michigan to rural
California, Curiel portrays the diversity of practices, cultures
and observances that make up Muslim America. He profiles the
leading personalities and institutions representing the community,
and explores their relationship to the wider politics of America,
particularly after 9/11. Islam in America offers an indispensable
guide to the social life of modern Islam and the diversity of
contemporary America.
