Muslims in the African Diaspora: New Books in the Field brings together leading scholars and writers to explore groundbreaking work on Islam, race, and Black life throughout the African diaspora. Through discussions of recently published and forthcoming books, the event examines how Muslim thought, practice, and community have influenced struggles for freedom, knowledge, and belonging in Africa, the Americas, and the Atlantic world. Featuring authors in conversation with local interlocutors, this gathering provides a timely reflection on Black Muslim histories, intellectual traditions, and contemporary visions of liberation.
