Received some paperbacks of my book on African Hebrew Israelite leader/theologian Ben Ammi. Giving one away, like and share if you're interested. #blackreligion #blackhebrewisraelites #newreligiousmovements

I've just received news from friends in the African Hebrew Israelite community that the remaining families who were threatened with deportation from Israel have now all been granted temporary resident status. This status was the first step towards citizenship for the other families since 1990.

Now reading: Jewellers of the Ummah by Ariella Aisha Azoulay. A moving analysis of Algerian Jewish identity after that world ceased to exist. Azoulay sometimes whitewashes the history, intent on creating a utopic past free of any bigotry or trouble, her letters yearn for a lost precolonial world 📚 💕

An interesting paragraph from Lewis Gordon which seems to posit the easy acceptance and integration of European Jews *as Black* into Black societies in the Americas

These two accompanied me on a weekend in the countryside

First post is a book I just received for review: Michael Muhammad Knight's new one on the Nation of Islam's foundational documents
