Dr. Jackson’s new book, Islam and the Problem of Black Suffering, is out. A follow up to his successful Islam and the Blackamerican: Looking toward the Third Resurrection, Black Suffering seeks to shed light on the dilemma of Islam in the Blackamerican community, especially as it relates to tackling the issue of adversity and affliction in the black community. Jackson wishes to highlight the challenge that Islam must over come if it wishes to enjoy any longevity in the black community.
For the Muslim, therefore, it is essential to find a Quranic/Islamic grounding for the protest-oriented agenda of black religion.
That is the task Dr. Jackson undertakes in this pathbreaking work. The book is published by Oxford University Press, it is available on Amazon.com as well.
