Description

A condensation and updating of his African Muslims in Antebellum The us: A Sourcebook (1984), noted scholar of antebellum black writing and history Dr. Allan D. Austin explores, by the use of portraits, documents, maps, and texts, the lives of 50 sub-Saharan non-peasant Muslim Africans caught in the slave trade between 1730 and 1860. Also includes five maps.
A condensation and updating of the creator’s African Muslims in Antebellum The us: A Sourcebook, this book features the stories of nearly 80 Africans brought to The us as slaves between 1730 and 1860. What used to be abnormal about these slaves is that they were Muslims and that they left some sort of documentary record of their presence. Many came from elite classes–one used to be a military officer, several were schoolteachers, and every other used to be studying to turn into a non secular leader. The use of the fragments of evidence still to be had, Allan D. Austin tells a compelling story that illuminates aspects of American history that are too little known.
