| Research Abstract |
This cultural anthropological study focuses on Muslims in multiple locations in the U.S. and compares their narratives, their everyday practices, and their processes of construction and transformation of the values and institution. In order to clarify the locality of Islam and the diversity of Muslims, this study collects the books and materials, as well as the field data, regarding the African-American Muslims in Detroit and New York. It also theoretically explores the problematic that I have encountered in the course of my fieldwork and material collection.
