About Islam and the West

1.  Islam in America.  By Jane I. Smith.  Available from Borders bookstore.  Probably the best up-to-date survey on Islam in America available today.

2.  The Sun is Rising in the West.  By M. Haleem and B. Bowman.  An excellent compilation of convert stories, advice, observations and resources.

3.  Windows of Faith.  Muslim Women Scholar Activists in North America.  By Gisela Webb.  Available from Astrolabe.  A fascinating book on a very ill-explored subject.
