Publisher's Synopsis
This Narrative Ethnographic and Historiographic text explores notions that are associated with cultural anthropological understandings of the Homo Narran's (storytelling human traditions) of people, place, and story. This text provides a discussion that explores relationship formations that developed in the American Public square between African-peoples. This relationship is mediated and is situated in the Intellectual Scholarly Heritage of the West African Islamic convention. That convention entitled Ndigel (Religious instruction), was written by the late Serigne Mourtalla Mbacke, of Touba, Senegal, West Africa. This document contains general instructions for mediating issues of governance of the Murid Islamic Community in America (MICA), especially related to authority and leadership responsibilities in community affairs. MICA, was established based on meaningful relationship, which developed over the past (32 years), between the Senegalese (Murid) members, and their host, the African-descent Indigenous communities of the Americas and the Caribbean. Furthermore, this document's utilization was extended to facilitating organizational development of the Foundation Khadimou Rassoul of North America (FKRNA), which was established in Washington D.C. These conventions were comprehensive to fostering exemplary management practices in the administration of both organization's cultures. Moreover, a key component of that relationship was the approach offered by the African-descent Indigenous Muslim communities, in developing the Hijrah Project and its visionary venture that was called The Breadfruit Tree Project.
