| Summary: | Professor GhaneaBassiri has written a sweeping history of Islam in America that both eclectically and effectively draws upon an impressively diverse range of sources in telling a nearly five-hundred-year history that has only recently begun to receive attention. From those of Islamic faith who were enslaved and brought to America to the urban legend that President Barack Obama is himself a Muslim, GhaneaBassiri touches upon every major historical episode in the establishment of Islam in America and the challenges Muslims face in the United States today., This history is often told through the use of vignettes detailing influential Muslim individuals, ranging from the slave era all the way to the Nation of Islam. |
