By Aaliyah Bilal

What We Say: In a glorious collection of 10 stories, Aaliyah Bilal shines a light on the interior lives of Black Muslims in the Nation of Islam, a community that despite its influence, is rarely featured in literature. Through diverse narratives about Black life, Bilal contemplates the convictions of race, religion, economics, politics, and sexuality in America.

What They Say: “Temple Folk is more than a special literary accomplishment, it is a gift of glorious songs” – Edward P. Jones, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Known World
