520			_a"A groundbreaking debut collection portraying the lived experiences of Black Muslims grappling with faith, family, and freedom in America"-- _cProvided by publisher.
520			_a"In Temple Folk, Black Muslims contemplate the convictions of their race, religion, economics, politics, and sexuality in the United States. The ten stories in this collection contribute to the bounty of diverse narratives about Black life by intimately portraying the experiences of a community that resists the mainstream American culture to which they're pushed to aspire to and accept. In 'Due North,' an obedient daughter struggles to understand why she's haunted by the spirit of her recently deceased father. In 'Who's Down?,' a father, after a brief affair with vegetarianism, conspires with his daughter to order a double cheeseburger. In 'Candy for Hanif,' a mother's routine trip to the store for her disabled son takes an unlikely turn when she reflects on a near-death experience. In 'Woman in Niqab,' a daughter's suspicion of her father's infidelity prompts her to wear her hair in public. In 'New Mexico,' a federal agent tasked with spying on a high-ranking member of the Nation of Islam grapples with his responsibilities closer to home. With an unflinching eye for the contradictions between what these characters profess to believe and what they practice, Temple Folk accomplishes the rare feat of presenting moral failures with compassion, nuance, and humor to remind us that while perfection is what many of us strive for, it's the errors that make us human."-- _cDust jacket.
