Leader of the Nation of Islam movement for over thirty years and a mentor to Malcolm X, Muhammad was responsible for introducing hundreds of thousands of African Americans to Islam. In this fascinating biography Herbert Berg assesses the impact of Muhammad’s unique and intriguing perspective on Islam, and seeks to understand why he formulated it. Careful to consider Muhammad’s career within the context of the significant racial tensions of his time, this volume investigates a figure whose formulation of Islam, however divisive, forced Muslims and scholars alike to evaluate their often normative definitions of this religious tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMain Persons and Technical Terms\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChronology\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 ISLAM AND AFRICAN AMERICANS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAfrican American Muslim slaves and African American religion\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAhmadis and the Moorish Science Temple\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWali Fard Muhammad\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e   Wallace D.
