Narratives of Black Muslim Women: Between the Nation and Sunni Islam

When I was invited in 2012 to speak at Harvard University’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Conference, “Expressions of Islam in Contemporary African American Communities,” I was in the middle of my research for my new book Women of the Nation: Between Black Protest and Sunni Islam, co-authored with Dawn Marie-Gibson.
I immediately knew the two women whose narratives I would share: Sandra El-Amin, Ph.D., and Khaleelah Muhammad, J.D. I chose their narratives partly because they intricately capture the ways in which Muslim women contribute to black feminist thought and practice.
