Seamlessly weaving together ethnography, analysis, theory, history, political critique, and methodological interventions, Maryam Kashani shows readers that Islam is of and from the Bay Area. While attending to gender, class, and generational difference, she elucidates the context of racial capitalism, the War on Terror, and settler-colonial white supremacy within which Muslims in the Bay Area live, not as a laundry list of things to oppose or things that restrict, but as the conditions within which her interlocutors live, work, understand, create, teach, and learn. The result is a cutting-edge work that will be a must-read for years to come.” -- Lara Deeb, Professor of Anthropology and MENA studies, Scripps College\u003cbr\u003e“Maryam Kashani’s portrait of the rise of a Muslim American community begins intimately with scenes of prayer, a classroom seminar, and a poetry reading, and gathers to the level of the universal. Sounding manifold voices of what she lovingly calls ‘the unruly aggregate,’ she poses sharp questions about spirituality, knowledge, resistance, and survival. \u003ci\u003eMedina by the Bay\u003c\/i\u003e is ambitious, expansive, and wholly original, and will be celebrated for years to come.” -- Jeff Chang, author of * We Gon’ Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Note on Transcription, Translation, and Blessings  xi\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments  xiii\u003cbr\u003e Cast of Characters  xix\u003cbr\u003e Introduction  1\u003cbr\u003e 1.
