Jackson notes that no one has offered a convincing explanation of why Islam spread among Blackamericans (a coinage he explains and defends) but not among white Americans or Hispanics. Theassumption has been that there is an African connection. In fact, Jackson shows, none of the distinctive features of African Islam appear in the proto-Islamic, black nationalist movements of the early 20th century. Instead, he argues, Islam owes its momentum to the distinctively American phenomenonof ""Black ReliAfrican American MuslimsHistoryAfrican AmericansReligionBlack nationalismUnited StatesHistoryAfrican AmericansRace identityAfrican American MuslimsHistory.African AmericansReligion.Black nationalismHistory.African AmericansRace identity.297.8/7Jackson Sherman A661752MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792217903321Islam and the Blackamerican3683143UNINA
