This is an ethnography of the Muridiyya community in Harlem. These representatives of an old West African Muslim Pacifist tradition now live in a pluralistic society. Young Murids, negotiating intergenerational tensions are rewriting what it means to be faithful to their spiritual and ethical tradition and a new American Muridiyya is emerging.
