We Are the Memory is a full-length historical and cultural study tracing the memory of the Moors - African and Muslim peoples of medieval Iberia - into the religious and cultural lives of their descendants across the Black Atlantic. It examines how sacred knowledge, language, ritual, and resistance survived the transatlantic slave trade and were re-inscribed into the practices of Black Muslims, Christians, Jews, and traditionalists from Barbados to the Gullah-Geechee corridor.
Blending academic rigor with accessible prose, the book moves through history, theology, linguistics, and culture, restoring the Moor not only as a historical subject but as a living legacy.
