The Nation of Islam: An American Millenarian Movement

Martha Lee's The Nation of Islam: An American Millenarian Movement, published by Syracuse University Press in 1996, is a scholarly study analyzing the Nation of Islam through the lens of millenarian movement theory, tracing its history from Wallace Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad through its later schisms. Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed academic monograph applying a clear comparative framework to the movement's development. Its limit is that it was published in 1996, so a claim about the Nation of Islam's more recent history and current teaching under Louis Farrakhan's later leadership needs a more current source alongside this study.
