Beginning with Latin America in the fifteenth century, this book
comprises a social history of the experiences of African Muslims
and their descendants throughout the Americas, including the
Caribbean. The years under slavery are examined, as well as the
post-slavery period. The study also analyzes Muslim revolts in
Brazil--especially in 1835. The second part of the book traces the
emergence of Islam among U.S. African descendants in the twentieth
century, featuring chapters on Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad, and
Malcolm X to explain how orthodoxy arose from varied unorthodox
roots. Currently Professor of History and Middle Eastern Studies at
NYU, Michael Gomez has research interests that include Islam in
West Africa, the African diaspora and African culture in North
America. He has been involved with the launching of a new academic
organization, the Association for the Study of the Worldwide
African Diaspora (ASWAD), and has published widely in the field.
