"My Islam be Black": resisting erasure, silence, and marginality at the intersection of race and religion.

This study examines digitally mediated critique and resistance concerning the intersection of race and religion by analyzing discourses from three US-based online communities centered on Black Muslim experiences: the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative, Sapelo Square, and Islah L.A. It highlights how Black Muslims face "intersectional invisibility," a form of marginalization resulting from dominant narratives that privilege Arab and South Asian Muslim identities while rendering Black Muslim identities and concerns invisible. The analysis identifies themes of double erasure and marginalization, silence and silencing within Muslim communities, and resistance through (re)centering Black Muslim identities and experiences to challenge this invisibility. The study underscores tensions between calls for Muslim unity and the need to address intra-community anti-Black racism, advocating for a nuanced understanding of the complex, multiply marginalized identities within Muslim American communities.
