European Colleagues -- In November, I received an inquiry from a PhD student in Italy who is working on the Black Muslims (aka Nation of Islam) in the US. I gave her citations for the few titles we have in our collection as well as suggestions for other searching. Her professor, in a fax received today, informs me that "this subject matter ... in Italy ... is not fully covered by libraries" and that they "are facing a lot of problems in finding out sources and books." One title that we (and a number of other US institutions) have and that the student is interested in seeing is: Abu Sulayman, 'Abd al-Wahhab Ibrahim. Munazzamat Ilayja Muhammad al-Amrikiyah : dirasah wa-tahlil / ta'lif 'Abd al-Wahhab Ibrahim Abu Sulayman. -- al-Tab'ah 1. -- Jiddah : Dar al-Shuruq, 1979. 208 p. ; 24 cm. Is this held in any of your libraries? Do any European libraries have other materials relating to the US Black Muslims and/or the Nation of Islam? I will be happy to forward positive responses to the student and her professor so that they can contact you directly.
