Sylviane A. Diouf. Servants of Allah: African Muslims Enslaved in the Americas. New York: New York University Press. 1998. pp. ix, 254. Cloth $55.00, paper $18.50.

Sylviane A. Diouf has written a sophisticated and important book on the history of West African Muslim slaves in the New World. The author's cogent analyses of source materials from Old World-West African Islam and New World-transatlantic slave communities establishes a strong and persuasive case for rich and extensive Islamic influences in black religious and cultural traditions in Brazil, the United States, and the Caribbean islands before the twentieth century. This creative and refreshing interpretation of West African-Islamic spiritual continuities in the African diaspora is fascinating and very readable. . . .
