In this podcast, BackStory covers the Americanization of Islam in America. America’s relationship with Islam, from the Barbary Wars and the narratives of Muslim slaves in the New World, to the Nation of Islam and the Black Power movement of the 1960s. What has it meant to be Muslim in America — and how has the idea of Islam in the U.S. changed over time?

BackStory is a nationally syndicated radio show that tackles a different theme in American history each week.

You can hear BackStory every Sunday in Atlanta on WABE 90.1 at 9 pm, or subscribe to their podcast on iTunes any time.
