Amidst a proliferation of scholarly literature about Islam inthe United States, very little attention has been given to sports among Muslim Americans. This is the first book to investigate Muslim American sports at the local level, looking at Muslim basketball leagues, sports programmes at mosques and Islamic schools, and sports events hosted by Muslim organisations.
