Brimming with revelations that synthesize area and ethnic studies, \u003ci\u003eCrescent over Another Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e presents a portrait of Islam's unity as it evolved through plural formulations of identity, power, and belonging. Offering a Latino American perspective on a wider Islamic world, the editors overturn the conventional perception of Muslim communities in the New World, arguing that their characterization as \"minorities\" obscures the interplay of ethnicity and religion that continues to foster transnational ties.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBringing together studies of Iberian colonists, enslaved Africans, indentured South Asians, migrant Arabs, and Latino and Latin American converts, the volume captures the power-laden processes at work in religious conversion or resistance. Throughout each analysis-spanning times of inquisition, conquest, repressive nationalism, and anti-terror security protocols-the authors offer innovative frameworks to probe the ways in which racialized Islam has facilitated the building of new national identities while fostering a double-edged marginalization. The subjects of the essays transition from imperialism (with studies of \u003ci\u003emorisco\u003c\/i\u003e converts to Christianity, West African slave uprisings, and Muslim and Hindu South Asian indentured laborers in Dutch Suriname) to the contemporary Muslim presence in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Trinidad, completed by a timely examination of the United States, including Muslim communities in \"Hispanicized\" South Florida and the agency of Latina conversion. The result is a fresh perspective that opens new horizons for a vibrant range of fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMARÍA DEL MAR LOGROÑO NARBONA \u003cbr\u003e Miami, Florida\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLogroño Narbona is an assistant professor of Modern Middle Eastern History at Florida International University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAULO G.
