Black Star, Crescent Moon offers a new perspective on the political and cultural history of Black internationalism from the 1950s to present.

Daulatzai maps the rich, shared history between Black Muslims, Black radicals, and the Muslim Third World, placing them within a broader framework of American imperialism, Black identity, and the global nature of white oppression.

The discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Michael Sawyer, Associate Professor of English, whose work focuses on the revolutionary potentiality of Black people and takes multi-disciplinary approach to exploring the works that authorize, accompany, sustain, and depict Black Being.

This event is hosted by the Consortium for Educational Resources on Islamic Studies (CERIS).
