The discussion has concerned mainly Muslim slaves in No. America,
but for those also interested in Latin America, there is the
exhaustive study of the Muslim-led slave uprising in Bahia by Joao
Reis. The dissertation (UMinn 1983) is in English: "Slave
Rebellion in Brazil: The African Muslim Uprising in Bahia, 1835,"
although the subsequent book is in Portuguese: *Rebeliao escrava no
Brasil: A historia do levantes dos males* (Sao Paulo 1986).
