The Practice of Islam in America: An Introduction (NYU Press) is a book that you can use in classes such as Intro to Islam, Intro to Religion, or Religion in the United States -- as well as something you can share with your neighbor when she asks you how Muslim Americans actually practice their religion. This book describes the lived religious experiences of a Muslim American community diverse by race, religious interpretation, ethnicity, national origin, sexual identity, gender, class, and region. It includes Sunni, Twelver, Isma'ili, Ansaaru Allah, Sufi, and "just Muslim" voices and experiences. Many of the practices here are shared; a few are particular to one community -- but overall, the goal is to show embodied, emplaced Muslim Americans doing and reflecting on Islam.
The book's website contains chapter summaries, audio-visual aids, discussion questions, and group exercises.
