In this Yaqeen/MAS Academic Conference presentation at the 16th MAS-ICNA Convention, guest author Margarita Rosa discusses the history of Muslim resistance to slavery in North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean, and our connection to a spiritual ancestry of resistance to oppression. She shares du’as written by enslaved Muslims as well as aspects of her experience as an Afro-Dominican Muslim woman in a world where slavery has not yet been abolished.
