The Oxford Encyclopedia of Islam in North America

There is currently tremendous interest in Islam in North America, among both scholars and the general public. While there is a growing body of scholarly literature, there are comparatively few resources that focus on Islam as a North American religious tradition. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Islam in North America will fill this gap by providing in-depth scholarly articles on key topics in the study of Islam in the United States and Canada, as well as in Mexico and the Caribbean — areas of growing scholarly interest. All of the articles appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Religion.
