Monday, September 23, 11am - 12pm - in person at Divinity Hall Room 114, Harvard Divinity School, 45 Francis St., Cambridge MA

Book Talk: Islam in North America: An Introduction, Featuring co-editors Hussein Rashid and Huma Mohibullah.

This event is free and open to the public. 

Co-editors Hussein Rashid and Huma Mohibullah discuss “Islam in North America: An Introduction.” After providing students with an introductory grounding in the field, chapters take a multidisciplinary approach, and focus on the expressions of Islam in its diverse forms. Students are encouraged to think beyond simple identifiers of “Muslim,” “American,” “Canadian,” or “Mexican”, and to consider how these identifiers exist in conversation with one another, and with others such as gender, class, race, sexuality, and ability.

The book provides a much-needed resource for students and instructors that acknowledges that Muslims navigate their identities in a world where Orientalist ideas continue to dominate politics, policy, and public imagination.
