This book is a novel and ambitious attempt to map the Muslim
American nonprofit sector: its origins, growth and impact on
American society. Using theories from the fields of philanthropy,
public administration and data gathered from surveys and
interviews, the authors make a compelling case for the Muslim
American nonprofit sector's key role in America. They argue that in
a time when Islamic schools are grossly misunderstood, there is a
need to examine them closely, for the landscape of these schools is
far more complex than meets the eye. The authors, who are both
scholars of philanthropy, examine how identity impacts philanthropy
and also the various forces that have shaped the landscape of
Muslim American giving in the US. Using a comparative method of
analysis, they showcase how this sector has contributed not only to
individual communities but also to the country as a whole. National
surveys and historical analysis offer data that is rich in insights
and offers a compelling narrative of the sector as a whole through
its focus on Islamic schools. The authors also critically examine
how nonprofit leaders in the community legitimize their own roles
and that of their organizations, and offer a compelling and
insightful examination of how Muslim American leaders perceive
their own role in institution building. This is a must read for
anyone seeking to understand this important and growing sector of
American society, including nonprofit leaders in the Muslim
community, leaders of Islamic schools, nonprofit leaders with
interest in private schools, activists, and scholars who study
philanthropy and Islamic education.
