Reihe: - Muslim Minorities, Band: 25
Autor:in:
In A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 2: The African American Islamic Renaissance, 1920-1975 Patrick D. Bowen offers an in-depth account of African American Islam as it developed in the United States during the fifty-five years that followed World War I. Having been shaped by a wide variety of intellectual and social influences, the âAfrican American Islamic Renaissanceâ appears here as a movement that was characterized by both great complexity and diversity.
Drawing from a wide variety of sourcesâincluding dozens of FBI files, rare books and periodicals, little-known archives and interviews, and even folktale collectionsâPatrick D. Bowen disentangles the myriad social and religious factors that produced this unprecedented period of religious transformation.

"â¦a genuine tour de force achieved by untangling old knots and weaving the loose strands into a rich narrative tapestry to yield an authoritative, encyclopedic tableau of matchless depth and scope.â
