Servants of Allah: African Muslims Enslaved in the AmericasAn illuminating study of how African Muslims drew on Islam while enslaved, and how their faith ultimately played a role in the African Disapora.
Servants of Allah illuminates the role of Islam in the lives of both individual practitioners and communities, and shows that though the religion did not survive in the Americas in its orthodox form, its mark can be found in certain religions, traditions, and artistic creations of people of African descent. This fifteenth-anniversary edition has been updated to include new materials and analysis, a review of developments in the field, prospects for new research, and illustrations. |
