Deeper Roots is what that other DVD promised to be but never was. Rather than an incapacitating, sentimental Euro-Centric tracing of ethnicity, the lecturer reconnects African-American and Caribbean history to the dynamic West African cultural expression of the universal way of Islam. It is a must for innovative historians and people yearning to hear the other story of America. Dr Abdullah Hakim Quick has travelled to more than 46 countries on lecture, research and educational tours. He embraced Islam in 1970 and thereafter pursued his studies at the Islamic University of Madinah, where he completed a BA from the College of Da’wah and Usul-al-Din. Ge later read for his Masters degree and completed his PhD on the History of Islam in West Africa at the University of Toronto, Canada. Dr Abdullah Hakim has served as Imam, teacher and counselor in the USA, Canada and the West Indies. For three years he contributed to the religious page of Canada’s leading newspaper. He is presently an executive member of the Muslim Judicial Council, Cape Town, South Africa. Today’s world is in need of innovative rethinking based on original authentic sources. Dr Abdullah Hakim provides an example of this new, progressive thinking.
