The Ministry of Louis Farrakhan in the Nation of Islam de Dawn-Marie Gibson

The Ministry of Louis Farrakhan in the Nation of Islam: Islam of the Global West

Autor Dawn-Marie Gibson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 dec 2023
In the first scholarly biography of Minister Farrakhan, leader of the controversial religious movement, the Nation of Islam (NOI), Dawn-Marie Gibson challenges popular portrayals of Farrakhan in American media.Placing Farrakhan's life and leadership in historical context, she traces his evolution from a fiery Black Nationalist in 1960s Harlem to a respected leader in sections of the USA and abroad, and uncovers Farrakhan's work in rebuilding the NOI's reputation following Malcolm X's assassination.Archival material includes FBI's files on the NOI and its leaders, Farrakhan's writings in the Muhammad Speaks and The Final Call newspapers, and lectures and interviews from the late 1970s to the present day. Excerpts from first-hand interviews from NOI officials, pastors, imams, and community groups provide important insights into Farrakhan's religious life.

Recenzii

Gibson provides a clear-eyed view of Farrakhan and his history with the Nation of Islam. The book offers a much needed insight into the history, internal workings, and beliefs of the NOI. Neither supportive nor condemnatory, Gibson offers an important and balanced study of a complicated, controversial figure whose roles and influence, both negative and positive, deserve to be better understood.
This important book helps unpack the work of Louis Farrakhan and Nation of Islam to give us a deeper understanding of this man, movement and organization. Farrakhan and (by extension) the Nation of Islam have been very controversial due to his anti-Semitism. This books dives deeper to help us understand Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam and his controversial beliefs.
