Mohammed Alexander Russell Webb (1846-1916) is one of the prominent nineteenth-century American white converts, who spent remarkable effort to serve and forward the vari-ous causes of the American Muslims and const-ruct an American Muslim intellectual heritage in his time. His popularity for the Turks stems from the fact that he resorted to publishing and dis-seminating propaganda, albeit anonymously, for the Ottoman Empire in the first decades of twentieth century as well as his diplomatic ca-reer he accomplished as the Honorary Ottoman Consul General in New York. Celal Emanet, who previously published Webb's autobiography in Turkish, now collects some of his writings, lectu-res and letters in this book with a comprehensi-ve Introduction. The aim of this compilation is to give English readers a true sense of the man and the many facets of his thoughts.
