Muslims in America

Abstract

The first single- author history of muslims in America from colonial times to the present, this book fills a huge gap and provides invaluable background on one of the most poorly understood groups in the united states. The book begins with the tale of Job Ben Solomon, an 18th-century Africa American Muslim slave, and goes on to charr the stories of sodbusters in north Dakota, African American convers to Islam in the 1920s, Muslim berkeepers in Toledo, the post-1965 wave of profesionalisme immigrants from Asia and Africa , and muslim Americans after 9/11
