Essentially, the study of black religion in America has been mysterious, quarrelsome, and paradoxical. Repeatedly the reason in this primer aspires to make a concentric analysis of the function and capacity of spirituality and religiosity, within the African American Muslim movement. Recently, there have been numerous volumes in the form of biographical or communal studies conducted on Black twentieth century religious figures. Much of this discussion has exacerbated in hierarchy of religious values, rather than a concentric analysis of the role and function of spirituality and religiosity. Therefore, this collection of essays places emphasis on the role and views of the missionary and voluntary spread of Islam among African Americans in the United States.

Reviews for Africana Faith: A Religious History of the African American Crusade in Islam

Africana Faith: A Religious History of the African American Crusade in Islam has that rare virtue of being a necessary text. In breadth, creative organization, and nuance, the anthology works on many levels as James Conyers has assembled works offering analyses of African American Muslims within the context of American historiography and a broad array of debates across the social sciences. A classic reader is born! --Lewis Gordon, author of An Introduction to Africana Philosophy -- Lewis Gordon
