Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed academic monograph applying a clear comparative framework to the movement's development. Its limit is that it was published in 1996, so a claim about the Nation of Islam's more recent history and current teaching under Louis Farrakhan's later leadership needs a more current source alongside this study.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (90 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Published by Syracuse University Press as Martha F.
