Servants of Allah presents a history of African Muslims; following them from West Africa to the Americas. Although many assume that what Muslim faith they brought with them to the Americas was quickly absorbed into the new Christian milieu; as Sylviane A. Diouf demonstrates in this meticulously-researched; groundbreaking volume; Islam flourished during slavery on a large scale. She details how; even while enslaved; many Muslims managed to follow most of the precepts of their religion. Literate; urban; and well-traveled; they drew on their organization; solidarity and the strength of their beliefs to play a major part in the most well-known slave uprisings. But for all their accomplishments and contributions to the history and cultures of the African Diaspora; the Muslims have been largely ignored.
