Recenzje

"Valuable to those seeking more insight... This reference is crucial for an unbiased and comprehensive look at Muslims in Canada and the United States... A welcome addition to school and public libraries." -- American Reference Books Annual
"Timely in the light of the increased interest in Islam and North American Muslims... The information is tied together nicely by an index of detailed subheadings. More than a third of the work is dedicated to a select yet extensive directory...Recommended. Public and academic libraries." -- Choice
