Islam among Urban Blacks examines the evolution of Muslim community
development in our nation's third oldest city, Newark, New Jersey.
It is an historical account of the efforts of a diverse community
that over several decades grappled with the challenge of
establishing a respected place for their Islamic lifestyle within
the United States of America. Further, it is a story linked closely
to the experience of African Americans who have claimed Islam as
their religion and struggled to create and to maintain an identity
in the social fabric of Newark's twentieth-century Black religious
culture. Few historians have acknowledged that Newark's Muslim
community contributed to the enrichment of the city's urban
culture. However, the community was also impacted by the industrial
Newark of the early twentieth-century and the promise of American
freedom just as other ethnic and religious communities in the area.
The complexities of race, identity, inter-religious and
intra-religious relations are the four central themes explored
within this scholarly work.
