520 $a"The presentation of Africa, Islam and slavery in the Narratives of Muslim slaves in the Americans is a topic that if often overlooked in discussing the genre of African-American Literature. In fact the first African-American biography was that of a former Maryland slave, Job Ben Solomon, published in 1730 in Britain. By reexamining these often overlooked works one can gain insight into the world of 18th and 19th century African Islam integration into a alien cultures, as well as life as a slave in the Americas. The primary sources presented in the volume include: the narrative of Job ben Solomon, the two autobiographical pieces of Muhammed Said of Bornu, the Arabic autobiography of 'Umar ibn Said, the Jamaican narrative of Abu Bakr Said, a discussion of coverage on Bilali Muhammad's excerpts from the Risalah of Abi Zais, Theodore Dwight's articles on the teaching methods of the Serachule teacher slave Lamen Kebe, and a letter describing Salih Bilali."--Page [4] of cover.
