Description
This encyclopedia and primary documents set, the first on the topic, is a must-have for understanding Islam and Muslims in the United States.

Reviews:
-"The Encyclopedia of Islam in the United States takes a refreshing look at Islam and Muslims from a uniquely Muslim American perspective. Hence, it is a valuable reference both to Muslims and non-Muslims alike." —American Reference Books Annual
-"This reference source provides the historic context to understand present-day practices of this complex topic. The second volume includes primary documents complementing the set by including articles, speeches, and essays for additional background information. The entries offer an objective insight for all audiences, from the general reader to the college student, and should be in all library reference collections throughout the United States." —Ingram Library Services
-"This set is reliable, up-to-date, wide-ranging, and accessible." —School Library Journal
-"The content of this pertinent and useful two-volume reference is made up of a wide variety of first-hand sources and primary documents. American Muslims tell their own stories in many of the selections, through autobiographical interviews or accounts, and through statements from Muslim-American organizations. Many selections present accounts and analysis of political and global events, including the opinions and statements of US presidents, and a wealth of polls, interviews, and studies. Terrorism and 9/11, gender and Islam, the challenges of citizenship, race, and religion are the subject of separate sections, each containing a selection of readings. Readers curious to know what American Muslims think and why and what their lives are like in the US will find this a valuable reference to enrich their knowledge." —SciTech Book News
