Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- 1 Putting Muslims on the Map in Latin America and the Caribbean -- Part 1 Historical Lineages -- 2 The Question of Pre-Columbian Contact -- 3 Los Moros, Spain, and the Making of the New World -- 4 Enslaved Muslims and Their Enduring Legacy -- 5 Indentured Servants and Immigrants -- Part 2 Contemporary Communities and Global Entanglements -- 6 Halal in Brazil and the Global Muslim Economy -- 7 Islamophobia and the War on Terror -- 8 Seeking a Better World in Mexico -- 9 The Contest for Sunni Hegemony in the Caribbean -- 10 The Dream of a Latinx Muslim Homeland -- Part 3 Conclusion -- 11 The Americas as Part of a Broader “Muslim World” -- Bibliography -- Index -- About the Book
Summary: The “Muslim World” is often narrowly conceived as tied to the Middle East and North Africa, or more broadly as encompassing Africa’s Sahel region, Southeast Asia, and perhaps parts of the Balkans. But what about Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC)? It is this question that inspired Ken Chitwood’s book. Chitwood traces the story of Muslims in LAC: their deep roots in the region, as well as the current connections among the multiple Islamic networks of people, ideas, technology, finance, politics, and religion that extend across the Americas and beyond. Moving from pre-Columbian encounters to the present day, his rich account leaves the reader with a deeper understanding of an integral, but little recognized, part of both LAC and the Muslim World.
