Drawing on hundreds of interviews conducted over a period of several years, Dannin provides an unprecedented look inside the fascinating and little understood world of black Muslims. He discovers that the well-known and cult-like Nation of Islam represents only a small part of the picture. Many more African-Americans are drawn to Islamic orthodoxy, with its strict adherence to the Qur'an. Dannin takes us to the First Cleveland Mosque, the oldest continuing Muslim institution in America, on to a permanent Muslim village in Buffalo, and then inside New York's maximum-security prisons to hear testimony of the powerful attraction of Islam for individuals in desperate situations. He looks at the aftermath of the assassination of Malcolm X, and the ongoing warfare between the Nation of Islam and orthodox Muslims. Accessibly written, filled with gripping first-hand testimony, and featuring superb illustrations by photographer Jolie Stahl, this book will be the best available guide to the beliefs and culture of African-American Muslims. -- Publisher description 606 $aIslam$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aAfrican American Muslims$xHistory 606 $aMuslim converts$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aBlack Muslims$xHistory 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrican American Muslims$xHistory. 615 0$aMuslim converts$xHistory. 615 0$aBlack Muslims$xHistory. 676 $a297.8/7/0973 700 $aDannin$b Robert$f1952-$01496843 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783272903321 996 $aBlack pilgrimage to Islam$93721742 997 $aUNINA
