DescriptionIndividuality and identity are often absent in the histories of enslaved people. This absence leaves a gap in the ability to understand the different demographics of enslaved communities. One notably absent community from research is enslaved Muslims. This paper examines the significance court cases hold in uncovering the historical accounts of enslaved Muslims. Scholarship has failed to center Islam as a critical principle and thread when analyzing the history of enslaved people and subsequently African American history. Through the analysis of court cases and focus on Muslim names various historical accounts can be uncovered that provide more insight into the lives of enslaved Muslims in the United States.
