伊斯兰教现在已成为美国的一种现象。它一度被认为主要是阿拉伯人的一种生活方式，也是一种与这个国家的犹太基督教遗产格格不入的信仰，但它已发展成为美国最著名、发展最快的宗教运动之一。这本关于穆斯林移民的民族志详细考察了东北部的五个社区。这项调查包括对这些社区成员的大量采访，以高度个人化的角度审视了在伊斯兰教受到国际新闻严格审查之际，在美国作为一名虔诚的穆斯林意味着什么。作者描述了美国伊斯兰教的机构和领导、穆斯林法律及其在美国背景下的应用，研究了困扰试图在潜在困难的环境中遵守其信仰要素的穆斯林的各种问题。家庭生活以及男女的角色和关系也被详细描述。
The religion of Islam is now an American phenomenon. Once thought to be primarily a way of life of the Arabs and a faith alien to the Judeo-Christian heritage of this country, it has grown to be one of the most prominent and rapidly-growing religious movements in America. This ethnography of immigrant Muslims considers five Northeastern communities in detail. Including numerous interviews with members of these communities, this investigation provides a highly personal look at what it means to be a believing, practising Muslim in America at a time when Islam is under the critical scrutiny of international news. The authors describe the institutions and leadership of American Islam, Muslim law, and its applications in the American context, examining the kinds of problems that beset Muslims trying to observe the elements of their faith in a potentially difficult environment. Family life and the roles and relationships of men and women are thoroughly detailed as well.
