Islam and America argues that the current animosity between the U.S. and Muslim world should be understood through the often-overlooked history between the two.Tracing the genealogy of this conflicted relationship from the Pilgrims to the present, author Anouar Majid weaves personal stories with historical narratives to offer a critical view of both cultures and to suggest a path towards future peace. The paperback edition features a new preface that connects Majid’s argument with recent events, from the growth of ISIS to the Charlie Hebdo attacks.Islam and America makes a provocative argument against faith-based prejudices and offers inspiring suggestions for the future.
