Book Synopsis
The events of 9/11 had a profound impact on American society, but they had an even more lasting effect on Muslims living in the US. Describing how Islam in America began as a strange cultural object and is gradually sinking into familiarity, this book is an up-close account of how Islam takes its American shape.

Trade Review
"A work of considerable originality. Mucahit Bilici offers a well-crafted and insightful analysis of the complex process of integration that Muslim immigrants have faced in the United States since 9/11. Bilici's look at Islam as a religion in the American system is rich and rewarding." (Jose Casanova, Georgetown University)"
