** Bringing Black Muslim voices to the fore
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Last month, MCB's Proudly Muslim & Black team released the groundbreaking report: Race, Faith & Community in Contemporary Britain: Essays on Black, African and African Caribbean Muslims in the UK.
Black British Muslims play an important role in British society. Still, they are often poorly represented in public discourse, policy, and across various sectors.
This landmark collection of essays from over 40 authors aims to bring Black British Muslim voices to the forefront and work towards increased inclusion and belonging in wider British society and within British Muslim communities.
