Reviews

""BorÍcua Muslims is a timely and groundbreaking study of Latinx Islamidad and the growing number of Puerto Rican Muslims in the Caribbean and the United States. Ken Chitwood brings his multilingual talents in cultural studies, ethnography, and journalism to bear in this expansive and joyful exploration of how AmeRÍcan Muslims negotiate their island lives, transnational migrant encounters, and cosmopolitan community belongings in the global Muslim ummah."" - Aliyah Khan, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, author of Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean ""This expansive and powerful book sheds light on the everyday lives of AmeRÍcan Muslims by tracing their experiences, border crossings, and identities from Newark to BayamÓn to Houston. BorÍcua Muslims is intellectually rich, well written, and full of incredible stories that offer a compelling look at the varied and complex intersections of American religion, global Islamic studies, and Latinx Muslims.""- Felipe Hinojosa, Baylor University, co-editor of Faith and Power: Latino Religious Politics Since 1945.
