Random Lamentations, Protest Chants, and Affirmations: Selected Works from a Blackfemale Muslim Muslimfemale Black (1976-2016) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781619844766)

Random Lamentations, Protest Chants, and Affirmations: Selected Works from a Blackfemale Muslim Muslimfemale Black(1976-2016) is an offering of poems that speak to the unique and complex experiences of a Black Muslim woman living in inner city America over the last 40 years. The lives of Muslim women who live in urban America are rarely documented in literature. Their experiences are assumed to be similar to their Middle Eastern, Asian, and African sisters, even though the legacy of slavery and social injustice in America informs their daily lives. This book will, hopefully, allow readers to see black Muslim women, in particular, and Muslim women, in general, through a clearer window.
