Islam and the Blackamerican: Looking Toward the Third Resurrection
ISBN: 9780195180817 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The assumption has been that there is an African connection. In fact, Jackson shows, none of the distinctive features of African Islam appear in the proto-Islamic, black nationalist movements of the early 20th century. Instead, he argues, Islam owes its momentum to the distinctively American phenomenon of "Black...
