Encyclopedia of Muslim-American history

About this book

Since the colonial period, when an estimated 20,000 African Muslims were transported to America as slaves, to the early 20th century, when Muslim immigrants came to the United States from the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, to the present day, Islam has been an integral part of the American experience. Including nearly 300 articles, this two-volume reference set covers all the historical and contemporary issues, events, people, court cases, themes, and activism relating to Muslim Americans. --from publisher description.
