  • ""Muslim slaves in the eighteenth-century colonies? Islam in antebellum America? Allan Austin, notes scholar of antebellum black writing and history, here tells the remarkable stories of dozens of African Muslims--all from sub-Saharan Africa, and none of them peasants--who were taken as slaves between 1730 and 1860. Examining fragments of evidence left to us, Austin establishes a picture of the African Muslim slaves: proudly insistent on covering their bodies, reading and writing Arabic, respectful of both Africa and Islam , praying to one God. Though slaves, these individuals aroused apprehension among their purchasers, from whom they extracted many accommodations of their religious and cultural identities. Moreover, many of them had been political, religious, commercial, or military leaders in Africa. Some of them were returned to Africa, while others became leaders within America's slave system. African Muslims in Antebellum American a condensation and updating of the author's 1984 African Muslims in Antebellum America : a Sourcebook , opens wide a rich and important dimension in the study of American cultural and religious history." --from cover."@en
