Abstract

Using oral history interviews conducted at The University of Iowa after September 11, 2001, Black autobiographies, and recent social-scientific and cultural studies of African-American masculinity, this article evaluates from contemporary and historical perspectives, identity formation among Sunni Muslim converts and second generation Muslims involved in hip hop culture. The article also discusses visual representations in television and cinema that frame youth conversion experiences.
