On March 29th at 1:00 PM ET, Join GISC as we host Dr. Su'ad Abdul Khabeer and Dr. Rasul Miller for a lecture on Black Islam in the Americas, with a focus on the United States. RSVP: http://bit.ly/BlackIslamLect
Dr. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer is a scholar, artist, activist, and author of Muslim Cool: Race, Religion, and Hip Hop in the United States (2016). She is an associate professor of American Culture and Director of the Arab and Muslim American Studies program at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from Princeton University, is a graduate of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, and completed the Islamic Studies diploma program of the Institute at Abu Nour University (Damascus).
In her most recent work, Umi’s Archive, Dr. Abdul Khabeer examines the intersections of official history and the untold stories of Black women and Black Muslims through the lens of her mother’s life. Umi means mother in Arabic, and Dr. Abdul Khabeer examines her mother’s photographic and literary archives, and so the digital exhibition series is Umi's Archive. The project sees everyday Black women as people who know things we all need to know. Dr. Rasul Miller's work looks into Black Muslim communities in the Atlantic world, Black radicalism and its impact on social and cultural movements in the twentieth-century U.S., Black internationalism, and West African intellectual history.
Dr. Miller's current book project, Black Muslim Cosmopolitanism: The Global Character of New York City's Black Muslim Movements, examines the Black internationalist origins of early twentieth-century Black Sunni Muslim congregations in and around New York City, and the cultural and political orientations that characterized subsequent communities of Black Muslims in the U.S. who built robust, transnational networks as they actively engaged traditions and communities of Muslims on the African continent.
This event is a part of the three-part Black Islam In the Americas Series. This series will explore the history of Black Islam and the experiences of Black Muslim communities in the Americas, including North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
