At a time when American politicians freely float the idea that Muslims can somehow be "banned" from the United States or hermetically sealed out of existence, this book is a timely reminder that the "long view" matters. It challenges the prevailing assumption that when we talk about "American and Muslim worlds," we are always talking about two entities that have come into conflict and confrontation with each other in the late twentieth century in the form of wars, radicalism, terrorism, imperialism, or petro-politics. Instead, this book shows there is a long and deep seam of history, which provides an important context for contemporary events, but which is also important in its own right.
Readers are reminded that some of the earliest American Muslims were the African slaves working in the plantations of the Carolinas - and that some of them even wrote memoirs in Arabic. We are told that Thomas Jefferson was frequently called an "infidel" with hidden Muslim sympathies by his opponents. Whether through the sale of American commodities in Central Asia, Ottoman consuls in Washington, orientalist themes in American fiction, the uprisings of enslaved Muslims in Brazil, or the travels of American missionaries in the Middle East, this book shows there was no shortage of opportunities for Muslims and inhabitants of the Americas to meet, interact and shape one another from an early period.

American and Muslim Worlds before 1900 challenges the prevailing assumption that when we talk about American and Muslim worlds, we are talking about two conflicting entities that came into contact with each other in the 20th century. Instead, this book shows there is a long and deep seam of history between the two which provides an important context for contemporary events -- and is also important in its own right.
Some of the earliest American Muslims were the African slaves working in the plantations of the Carolinas and Latin America. Thomas Jefferson, a slaveholder himself, was frequently called an infidel and suspected of hidden Muslim sympathies by his opponents. Whether it was the sale of American commodities in Central Asia, Ottoman consuls in Washington, orientalist themes in American fiction, the uprisings of enslaved Muslims in Brazil, or the travels of American missionaries in the Middle East, there was no shortage of opportunities for Muslims and inhabitants of the Americas to meet, interact and shape one another from an early period.

Описание: An important, urgently needed book--a hugely ambitious, illuminating portrait of the two-century long entwined history of Iran and America, the first book to examine in all its aspects, the rich and fraught relations between these two powers, once allies, now adversaries. By admired historian, author of Untapped: The Scramble for Africa's Oil ("he would do Graham Greene proud" --KirkusReviews). In this rich, fascinating history, John Ghazvinian traces the complex story of the relations of these two powers back to the eighteenth-century's Persian Empire, the subject of great admiration of Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams and for the Iranians, an America seen as an ideal to emulate for its own government. Drawing on years of archival research both in the US and Iran--including access to Iranian government archives rarely available to western scholars--the Iranian-born, Oxford-educated historian leads us through the four seasons of US-Iran relations: the 'spring' of mutual fascination; the 'summer' of early interactions; the 'autumn' of close strategic ties; and the long, dark 'winter' of mutual hatred. Ghazvinian, with grasp and a storyteller's ability, makes clear where, how, and when it all went wrong. And shows why two countries that once had such heartfelt admiration for each other became such committed enemies; showing us, as well, how it didn't have to turn out this way.
