In the Fall of 1892, Alexander Russell Webb, the American consul to the Philippine Islands, resigned his post and set off for a tour of the Indian subcontinent. Webb had converted to Islam and partnered with Indian Muslims to commence an Islamic mission to the United States. Part of the agreement allowed Webb to travel to India on his way back to America and visit cities with large Muslim populations. This work encompasses his travels, including: his departure from Manila, sea voyages, stays in Singapore and Penang, and most notably, the more than two months that he spent amongst the Muslims of Rangoon, Calcutta, Bombay, Poona, Hyderabad, and Madras.
During Webb's travels he met with many prominent members of the Indian Muslim community, and presented lectures on Islam to large audiences. As an American Muslim, and one of the first converts in North America to Islam, his first-person accounts provide a unique perspective and historical account of Colonial India and Indian Muslims in particular. A primary document that will prove invaluable in studying the early Muslim history of the United States and its relationship to India. Complete with historical Introduction, Notes, Bibliography, and detailed Index.

Yankee Muslim
I came across this book when I was doing research for a paper I was writing about the history of East- African women pre-colonial era. There is so much history that has been written about West -African especially Nigeria. I wanted to concentrate my research on the history of East African women. The Three Swahili women definitely filled a part of that void that was missing in my research. It is a good primary source if you want to know more East African women who by the way are very different from West African Women ( in general women from Africa are characterized depending on, which region of Africa they come from, West, East, Central, South or North: I have friends from all over Africa, but my closest friends are mainly from East Africa because our cultures have similarities). Some times Western countries confuse West African history to include all of Africa. Contrary to this believe, African women are different from across the continent. This is not even fair review of this book, please read it for your self. You will not regret it.
