..". full of surprises and intrigues and written in a beautiful
style.... a breath of fresh air on the African-Islamic-American
connection." Journal of the American Academy of Religion
The involvement of black Americans with Islam reaches back to
the earliest days of the African presence in North America. Part I
of the book explores these roots in the Middle East, West Africa,
and antebellum America. Part II tells the story of the "Prophets of
the City" the leaders of the new urban-based African American
Muslim movements in the 20th century. Turner places the study of
Islam in the context of the racial, ethical, and political
relations that influenced the reception of successive presentations
of Islam, including the West African Islam of slaves, the Ahmadiyya
Movement from India, the orthodox Sunni practice of later
immigrants, and the Nation of Islam. This second edition features a
new introduction, which discusses developments since the earlier
edition, including Islam in a post-9/11 America."
