N2  - Antiblack racism is a global problem, including in much of the Muslim world. A common accusation is that Islam itself, at its scriptural foundations and in its moral and legal teachings, is antiblack. This book offers the most comprehensive and in-depth response to this claim. Locating the origins of this accusation in the old trope of Barbary enslavement, modern Afrocentrism and conservative politics, Islam & Blackness explores antiblackness in Islamic scripture, law and mysticism. It explains how antiblackness arose in the Islamic world and became entangled with normative tradition. Finally, the book identifies authoritative voices in Islam's past that are crucial for combatting antiblack racism today
