Academic and public discourse on Islam and Muslims in America continuously represses the deep (hi)stories of Blackamerican or Afro-American Muslims - (hi)stories rooted in the very inception of American nations - to focus almost exclusively on the twentieth and twenty-first century (hi)stories of immigrant, Middle-Eastern, and brown Muslims. The brand of racism known as Islamophobia manifests and thrives on the same prejudice, centering images of the "brown Arab-Middle Eastern Muslim" as the biological and cultural archetype of the Muslim-Islamic other. Put differently, both Islamophobic racism and official discourse on 'Islam in America' hinge on alienating Blackness from Islam, and hence Islam from America.
