Synopsis
If asked for evidence of the influence of Islam upon African-American culture, most Americans would be hard pressed to offer more than Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. Yet, contrary to popular belief, America's involvement with Islam dates from the earliest days of African presence in North America. Richard Brent Turner explores these roots in "Islam in the African-American Experience", with special attention to the Middle East, West Africa, and antebellum America, as well as the "Prophets of the City" associated with the new urban-based African-American Muslim movements of the 20th century. Turner, who teaches in the Theology Department at Xavier University in New Orleans, contextualizes the study of Islam with due regard for the racial, ethnic, and political relations that influenced America's reception of its successive presentations, including the West African Islam of slaves, the Ahmadiyya Movement from India, the orthodox Sunni practice of later immigrants, and the Nation of Islam.

Publisher's Note
Malcolm X and, more recently, Louis Farrakhan are two of the more visible signs of Islam's influence in the lives and culture of African Americans. Yet, as Richard Brent Turner shows, the involvement of black American 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 twentieth century.

Industry Reviews
"A significant contribution to our understanding of the role of individuals, Muslim groups, as well as the religion of Islam in the shaping of African-American Muslim identity. . . . I believe that the book will be the standard text used for courses on the subject."
