Captivating, provocative, and groundbreaking. Taking up the mandate that women's realities matter, Majeed writes with depth and analytical rigor about a topic we have scarcely begun to understand.--Amina Wadud, author of Inside The Gender Jihad

Tackles the contours and intimacies of a much practiced but seldom spoken about quasi-marriage that leaves women without legal support. A much-needed text on an extremely sensitive topic. Majeed excavates this terrain with finesse and a deft scholarly hand.--Aminah Beverly McCloud, coeditor of An Introduction to Islam in the 21st Century

Utilizes ethnographic research methods to imaginatively and constructively complexify the reality of polygyny in the lives of African American Muslim women.--Linda Elaine Thomas, author of Under the Canopy

Majeed's womanist approach is critical, yet balanced enough to include the concerns of women, men, and children, affording readers a broad and vital gaze into the lives of these unconventional households.--Zain Abdullah, author of Black Mecca

A powerful and long overdue study of polygyny in African American Muslim communities.--Shabana Mir, author of Muslim American Women on Campus
