Interviews

Islam In America

In recent years, Islam has emerged as the nation's fastest growing religion, making it, says DU religious studies Associate Professor Liyakat Takim, "a very American phenomenon."
 

Takim's book--Shi'ism in America--is due in bookstores in late summer or early fall. According to Takim's editor, Jennifer Hammer of New York University Press, the book breaks new ground, describing a community that has been largely ignored by scholars.
 

The New York University Press will post publication details about Shi'ism in America in spring 2009 at www.nyupress.org.
