Reviews

<br> Kane investigates how African Islam affects the public sphere in America. Simultaneously, from the vantage point of his research in New York, Kane examines transnational networks of emerging socio-economics in Senegal. The rich ethnography combined with nuanced analysis empowers this book to forge new directions in Islamic studies and African Diaspora Studies. Kane is a must-read for intellectuals curious about Islam and public life in the West. <br><br>--Jacob K. Olupona, Professor African and African American Studies, Harvard University and Professor, Harvard Divinity school<p><br>
