| Summary: | How might Muslims follow the Islamic ideals of close ties and social justice among believers to create a religious community identity (ummah) that transcends ethnic, racial, immigrant, and class identities of all Muslims now living in the United States? This is the basic question that the author explores using her ethnographic and scholarly expertise, as well as her perspectives as a second-generation African-American Muslim. Research in the book is focused on the obstacles and bridges to ummah between two of the largest ethnic groupings of Muslims in the United States, South Asian immigrants and African Americans., Obstacles to developing ummah connections are raised by differences in culture, education, language, and sometimes dress. |
