A muchneeded text on an extremely sensitive topic. Majeed excavates this terrain with finesse and a deft scholarly hand.Aminah Beverly McCloud, coeditor of An Introduction to Islam in the 21st CenturyUtilizes ethnographic research methods to imaginatively and constructively complexify the reality of polygyny in the lives of African American Muslim women.Linda Elaine Thomas, author of Under the CanopyMajeeds womanist approach is critical, yet balanced enough to include the concerns of women, men, and children, affording readers a broad and vital gaze into the lives of these unconventional households.Zain Abdullah, author of Black MeccaA powerful and long overdue study of polygyny in African American Muslim communities.Shabana Mir, author of Muslim American Women on CampusDebra Majeed sheds light on families whose form and function conflict with U.S. civil law. Polygynymultiplewife marriagehas steadily emerged as an alternative to the low numbers of marriageable African American men and the high number of femaleled households in black America.This book features the voices of women who welcome polygyny, oppose it, acquiesce to it, or even negotiate power in its practices. Majeed examines the choices available to African American Muslim women who are considering polygyny or who are living it. She calls attention to the ways in which interpretations of Islams primary sources are authorized or legitimated to regulate the rights of Muslim women. Highlighting the legal, emotional, and communal implications of polygyny, Majeed encourages Muslim communities to develop formal measures that ensure the welfare of women and children who are otherwise not recognized by the state.
