Through rigorous archival research and engaging in-depth interviews, Gibson investigates core themes of faith, family, and community, dissecting the factors that attract new converts to the NOI while candidly considering the challenges they confront upon entry. The text provides a nuanced analysis of how these men navigate the organization's ethics, gender norms, and community outreach efforts, including collaboration with Christian and Muslim counterparts. The work concludes with a focused look at the NOI’s 2015 \"Justice or Else\" march, commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the historic Million Man March in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThis scholarly monograph is ideal for students and researchers of American religious history, sociology, and African American studies.
