Muslim Cool is a way of being an American Muslim?displayed in ideas, dress, social activism in the ?hood, and in complex relationships to state power. Constructed through hip hop and the performance of Blackness, Muslim Cool is a way of engaging with the Black American experience by both Black and non-Black young Muslims that challenges racist norms in the U.S. as well as dominant ethnic and religious structures within American Muslim communities. Drawing on over two years of ethnographic research, Su'ad Abdul Khabeer illuminates the ways in which young and multiethnic U.S. Muslims draw on Blackness to construct their identities as Muslims. This is a form of critical Muslim self-making that builds on interconnections and intersections, rather than divisions between ?Black? and ?Muslim.? Thus, by countering the notion that Blackness and the Muslim experience are fundamentally different, Muslim Cool poses a critical challenge to dominant ideas that Muslims are ?foreign? to the United States and puts Blackness at the center of the study of American Islam. Yet Muslim Cool also demonstrates that connections to Blackness made through hip hop are critical and contested?critical because they push back against the pervasive phenomenon of anti-Blackness and contested because questions of race, class, gender, and nationality continue to complicate self-making in the United States. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Muslims 606 $aMuslims$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aAfrican American Muslims$xSocial conditions 606 $aHip-hop$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Muslims. 615 0$aMuslims$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAfrican American Muslims$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aHip-hop$xSocial aspects 676 $a305.896/073 700 $aKhabeer$b Su'ad Abdul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01039212 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148571503321 996 $aMuslim Cool$92461284 997 $aUNINA
