October 24, 2022-- Wonderful news: Ken Chitwood's The Muslims of Latin America and the Caribbean won the Religion News Association's Award for Best Nonfiction Religion Book! In celebration, it's 50% off for a limited time. Here are some kind words that were shared at the awards ceremony: “Each chapter of this book reads like a long-form magazine article by a top-tier journalist and not at all like the work of an academic scholar. Oh wait! It's BOTH! Author Ken Chitwood does what all religion reporters aspire to do—find that undertold story hiding in plain sight and pull out all its nuances.”
