Review
Abd-Allah provides readers with a treasure in this narrative . It is acessible, memorable in its wit, and instructive. This text is a must-read. Journal of Islamic Studies Abd-Allah's work is a unique type of American studies in which the majority society is represented in the mirror of gradual emergence of native minority society - Native American Muslim. However, this book is a leading reflection of Victorian America in all its typical natures - cultural and educational as well as political and economic elements. Saied R. Ameli, American Studies Journal His research provides a 'sound beginning' that enables a judicious reappraisal of the few other published accounts of Webb. Miriam Forman-Brunell, The Journal of American History
Review
"In this timely and engaging book, Umar Abd-Allah brings to life an important, but little-known figure in Victorian America. In an illuminating story of Alexander Webb, Abd-Allah shows how he navigated life as a prominent Muslim and an American with relative ease and without resistance from mainstream society. This work is an important lesson, not only for history buffs but for anyone interested in understanding contemporary times." --Geneive Abdo, author of Mecca and Main Street: Muslim Life in America After 9/11
"A remarkable biography of the intriguing Alexander Russell Webb, one of the earliest American converts to Islam. Webb's efforts to plant Islam in the United States are placed in the historical context of his New York upbringing, the religious developments in Victorian America, and his travels in the Muslim world." --Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad, co-author of Muslim Women in America
"A prodigious study of one of the most important early American Muslims. Webb's tour acoss the Islamic world is captivating, and his interpretation of the faith provides a model for contemporary Islamic thought." --Jane I. Smith, author of Islam in America
"Fascinating for all Muslims and all Americans." --The Muslim World Book Review
"Given our current lack of solid information about the place of Islam in American religious history, Abd-Allah's scholarly work is really quite valuable." --H-Net
