description: To some, jihad means holy war, but the true meaning, according to the author, is struggle or striving, either outwardly or for inner peace. Barboza, a journalist, introduces this set of interviews with American Muslims by writing about his own conversion to the faith. The interviewees are diverse a young feminist, a recent college graduate, an ex-hippie, a former government official, a Native American, and others. An illuminating work which should quell some fears and increase understanding. Includes a glossary and a listing of the 99 names of Allah. No bibliography (though there are some references to other works in notes). No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
