Although no Caribbean country has a Muslim majority population, Islam has
been an important presence in the region for at least five centuries.
Islam’s Caribbean journeys began with Muslim explorers, captives, and
emigrants who hailed from diverse societies and cultures around the globe
and who had been devotees of varying schools of Islamic thought for
generations. Today, Islam’s Caribbean journeys continue, as regional
inhabitants convert (or return) to Islam and as Muslim emigrants arrive
from locations as diverse as in the past. This lecture will discuss
examples of Caribbean Muslims living in different centuries and localities
as it explores the ways that Islam can be understood as a local, not
foreign tradition in this region.
