HOW RELIGION PRESERVED THE MAN: EXPLORING THE HISTORY AND LEGACY OF AFRICAN ISLAM THROUGH THE YARROW MAMOUT (CA.1736-1823) ARCHAEOLOGY PROJECT By MIA LASHAYE CAREY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Mia LaShaye Carey To little brown girls and boys who dare to dream In Loving Memory John Wilson Hawkins (1928-2009) and Ursuline Grace Hawkins (1923-1995) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It would take a whole new dissertation to truly express my gratitude for everything that you two have given me, sacrificed, and supported me through these last 27 years. For once all jokes aside, Linda, Dad, I love you with every fiber of my being. Thank you for being my motivation, my strength, my everything. I may be with one with the letters behind my name, but this accomplishment, this degree, more than any of the others, truly belongs to you two. It is and will always be a testament to the values of dedication, strength, and perseverance you have instilled in me. Though we are not related by blood, love makes us family. You have been two of my biggest champions for as long as I can remember. I may have asked you to be my godparents, but being your goddaughter is one of the greatest honors I have ever had. Boo and Tricia, your love, generosity, and unwavering support is rare. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for loving me when others did not. You are the Stitch to my Lilo; the Peanut Butter to my Jelly; the Hulk to my Betty. Anthony over the last three years your friendship has sustained me emotionally, physically, and mentally more than you’ll ever know. Though I have a way with words, describing our bond, our relationship in a way that makes sense to others is even beyond my abilities on my best day. Thank you for weathering this storm with me. To my doctoral chair, Dr. Susan deFrance, and to my committee Drs. Charles Cobb, John Krigbaum, Gwendolyn Simmons, and Elizabeth Washington, thank you believing in my dream and reaching uncharted territories with me. Nine years ago, I would never have pictured myself as archaeologist, but you two saw my potential, pushed me out of my comfort zone, and gave me the opportunity to make all of this possible. Drs. Eleanor King and Flordeliz Bugarin, your support over 4 these last five years speaks to the environment in which you provided at Howard. We are more than just student and professor, we were and are, forever, a family. My dearest Ruth, from the moment you met me, you took me under your wing, you nurtured me, and you promptly clipped my wings. You have inspired me, supported me, and fought for me more than anyone I have ever known. I will forever be indebted to your generosity, dedication, and love. To the other members of the Yarrow Mamout Archaeology Project, Charde and Charlie, getting to know you to and having the opportunity to work alongside you was an eye opening experience. Thank you for guiding me and supporting me throughout this whole process. To Muhammad, your support and guidance throughout the writing stage helped renew my confidence and my belief that I was making a difference. To Margaret Cheney, thank you for allowing us access to her property. To James H. Johnston, thank you for walking into the Peabody Room of the Georgetown Public Library that day so many years ago. Without your unwavering curiosity and quest for the truth, Yarrow’s story may have largely disappeared. To my fellow DLPers, especially Chrissy, and staff of the D.C. Historic Preservation Office, thank you. Never have I felt more welcomed, more at home than I do when I walk into Suite E650. Friends are rare, especially those who stick by you in the worst of times. Janine, from that fateful meeting at the McKnight welcome ceremony in 2012 to Aruba to all of our future adventures together, thank you for understanding my quirks and pushing me to work harder. Also, thanks for your editing skills. Kristen, gaining your friendship over the last year of my graduate career has been amazing. I cannot wait to celebrate in 5 Iceland with you and all of our other international adventures. Will, my friend, my brother. Five years and countless hours at the dog park later, thank you for being you and taking care of Pharaoh like he was your own. Throughout this whole process there have been many players who have contributed to not only the success of this project, but to my graduate career. First and foremost, I want to thank Charles Jackson and the McKnight Doctoral Fellowship family as well as the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Many thanks, to the UF Anthropology Department Staff, Karen, Pam, Patricia, and Juanita, you were all a big help throughout my graduate career. To Drs. Mary Furlong- Minkoff and Matthew Reeves from James Madison’s Montpelier and other staff, thanks for giving me a crash course in ceramics. To Rebecca Morehouse, Patricia Samford, and others at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory, thank you for your assistance in both my thesis and doctoral research. Also to the King family and the Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum for not only awarding me a 2016 Gloria S. King Fellowship in Archaeology, but for providing a forum through which to share my research. To my undergraduate laboratory volunteers, thank for you for the late hours and hard work. To the surrounding neighbors of 3324 Dent Place, your hospitality throughout the project made those long, hot days’ worth it. To my fellow archaeologists and volunteers, the project would not have been the same without all of your hard work. To those who donated supplies, money, and time to getting the project off the ground, we all sincerely thank you. To Susan Duser, thank you for the graphic design work. Special thank you my friends and family who were not mentioned, thank you for supporting me throughout this journey. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................. 4 LIST OF TABLES .......................................................................................................... 10 LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................ 11 ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................... 13 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................... 15 On Monuments, Memory, Silence, White Privilege, and Racism ............................ 18 Purpose and Goals ................................................................................................. 26 Mamout’s Story ....................................................................................................... 27 Previous Research on Enslaved African Muslims ................................................... 30 Theoretical Framework ........................................................................................... 34 Is this African Diasporic Archaeology, Islamic Archaeology, Public Archaeology, or Something Else? ............................................................................................. 40 Where Have We Been? .................................................................................... 40 Where Are We Going? ..................................................................................... 42 Chapter Summaries and Organization .................................................................... 44 Conclusion .............................................................................................................. 45 2 RESISTING INVISIBILITY: (RE)INTRODUCING THE HISTORYHISTORY OF AFRICAN ISLAM .................................................................................................... 47 The Birth of Islam .................................................................................................... 49 Sunni-Shia Split ................................................................................................ 52 Sufism .............................................................................................................. 53 African Muslims, West Africa, and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade ......................... 55 Evidence for the Pre-Columbian Presence of Muslims in the New World ............... 59 The First True Wave of Muslims ............................................................................. 62 Literacy ............................................................................................................. 63 Resistance ........................................................................................................ 66 Treatment ......................................................................................................... 68 Islam and the Founding Fathers ............................................................................. 68 The Fight for American Geopolitical Interests ......................................................... 71 Conclusion .............................................................................................................. 73 3 FROM AN IDEOLOGY TO A MOVEMENT: THE HISTORICAL LINKS BETWEEN PAN-AFRICANISM, BLACK NATIONALISM, AND THE RISE OF ISLAM IN AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES BY THE 1920S ........................ 75 7 The Golden Age of Pan-Africanism and Nationalism

    'The Slaves' Gamble: Choosing Sides in the War of 1812'

    H-War Hemmis on Smith, 'The Slaves' Gamble: Choosing Sides in the War of 1812' Review published on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 Gene Allen Smith. The Slaves' Gamble: Choosing Sides in the War of 1812. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013. xiii + 257 pp. $27.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-230-34208-8. Reviewed by Timothy C. Hemmis (University of Southern Mississippi) Published on H-War (March, 2016) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey A Chance at Freedom In The Slaves’ Gamble, Gene Allen Smith tackles a seemingly simple question in early American history: “why did some free blacks and slaves side with the United States during the War of 1812, and why did others join the British, the Spanish, the Native American tribes, or maroon communities?” (p. xi). Smith discovers a complex and multifaceted answer. Tracing the service of many African American men from colonial times through the War of 1812, the author finds that moments of international conflict gave free and enslaved black men a chance at freedom if they chose wisely. Smith opens the book with the story of HMS Leopard stopping USS Chesapeake in 1807. He explains that three of the four sailors whom the British captured were black men claiming to be Americans. The Chesapeake-Leopard affair seemingly had little to do with race, but Smith argues that race was “central ... to the history of the subsequent War of 1812” (p. 2). War gave African American men an opportunity to choose their own futures; during several flash points in history, Smith demonstrates, free and enslaved blacks had a brief chance to determine their own destiny.

  • Ayuba Suleiman Diallo

    Ayuba Suleiman Diallo

    Black History Month: Ayuba Suleiman Diallo - The Enslaved African Muslim Whose Significance To British Muslim History Would Lead Centuries Later To a National Campaign To Stop His Portrait Being Sold Abroad By: Dr. Muhammed Al-Ahari In the third of our four-part series to mark this annual event, Dr. Muhammed Al-Ahari details the extraordinary life of Ayuba Suleiman Diallo, an African American Muslim who “wrote his way out of slavery.” Ayuba Suleiman Diallo was an enslaved trader and scholar who is mentioned in slavery literature as Job Ben Solomon. His 1734 biography makes his life the most accessible of these early Muslims and perhaps its the first biography of any African American. It was certainly the first slave narrative advertised for sale [2]. Bluett’s “The Narrative of Job Ben Solomon” [3] is an understudied text which is at the same time the start of British- African, African American and Muslim American literature. Though less than 60 pages it provides details of West African lives in the early 18th century and includes details about agriculture, trade, religious life, education, clothing, leadership and wildlife. Diallo’s painting by William Hoare of Bath in 1733 Bluett, an attorney and church minister, befriended Diallo and wrote that he was a highly literate Arab scholar who came from a wealthy and aristocratic family in Bundu, West Africa. Three copies of the Qur’an are attributed to him during his stay in England following his emancipation by James Oglethorpe, the British founder of the colony of Georgia. It is claimed he wrote the copies of the Qur’an from memory, drew a map of West Africa with names written in Arabic and wrote a dozen short letters.

Cannon, Ph.D. 1st Break 9:55 – 10:10 nd 2 Break 11:00 -11:05 Course Title: Faith and Justice in Freedom Narratives: Lessons in Ethics from the Slave Quarters Course Description: This course is an interdisciplinary inquiry into the moral issues related to enslaved Africans who worked as chattel property in the economies of North America. We will examine theological expressions of faith and ethical issues of justice confronting the church community from the time of slavocracy to the present, especially how religion both empowered and disenfranchised African Americans in the struggle to actualize sacred embodiment. Objectives: a) to examine theological themes and contemporary ethical issues in the freedom narratives of enslaved African Americans; b) to interrogate moral agency in a variety of antebellum contexts regarding “how are we to live and for what;” c) to think creatively about the ways people of faith understand character, consequences, and obligations in relations to “a moral universe encompassing the whole community of life;” d) to become knowledgeable of literature in the field; e) to demonstrate facility in the skills of argumentation in order to become conversant with theological language so that members of contemporary confessing communities can live as authentic disciples in relation to the church’s mission and the meaning of the Gospel. Requirements and Procedures: Regular class attendance and reading that is complete, careful and on schedule are essential for this seminar.
