| Publisher Description: In A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 2: The African American Islamic Renaissance, 1920-1975 Patrick D. Bowen offers an in-depth account of African American Islam as it developed in the United States during the fifty-five years that followed World War I. Having been shaped by a wide variety of intellectual and social influences, the 'African American Islamic Renaissance' appears here as a movement that was characterized by both great complexity and diversity. Drawing from a wide variety of sources--including dozens of FBI files, rare books and periodicals, little-known archives and interviews, and even folktale collections--Patrick D. Bowen disentangles the myriad social and religious factors that produced this unprecedented period of religious transformation. |
