Islam and the Black Experience: African American History Reconsidered examines a facet of African history and blackness that often goes unexamined: a substantial portion of its roots lie in Islam.

This publication analyzes the effect of Islamic blackness upon African America, from slavery to pop culture and its evolution in between. Profound and well-researched, Islam and the Black Experience casts a new light upon the entire field of African-American studies.

Nash’s Islam and the Black Experience:

  • Reexamines well-known events in American history from a black-Islamic perspective, encouraging critical thinking and providing an additional dialogue to juxtapose common teachings in these areas.
  • Includes historical illustrations that provide visuals for the discussed ideas.
  • Provides a detailed preface that lays the foundation for the text, explaining both the background and relevance of the subject matter.
