Abstract
Chapter 1 examines how important stylistic changes in jazz’s sounds and musical practices, which influenced the reception of swing and bebop, helped to shape the construction of African American religious internationalism in black Christianity and Islam. It presents the journey of Malcolm Little as a swing jazz dancer and a practitioner of Garveyism as a case study of the themes of social justice and black representations of masculinities that jazz and Islam shared. Chapter 1 also discusses his first encounters with Islam, which took place when he studied the religion with Malcolm “Shorty” Jarvis and a missionary from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Boston.
