Latino Muslims: Our Journeys to Islam by Juan GalvanĪ beautiful collection of personal essays, experiences, and stories from Latino Muslims, this book is both powerfully inspiring and insightful into the lives of a little-known minority. With a heavy focus on the Caribbean and Central America in places like Trinidad, Mexico, and Suriname to Latin America in places like Argentina and Brazil, this book does an incredible service to the history and lives of Black and Latino/a Muslims. Looking specifically at the over-simplification often used to describe minorities in the Americas, this book looks at just how large-scale and important Islam and Black Muslims were to the building of the New World. This fascinating book looks at the more than 500-year history of Islam in Latin America first brought over by African slaves.
