Atiya Husain, an Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Williams College, explores the intersections of race, Islam, and terrorism. She analyzes how FBI Most Wanted posters shape our understanding of racial identity, particularly focusing on Assata Shakur's unique categorization. Husain reveals the complexities of how Muslims are often racialized in ambiguous ways while Shakur stands out due to her visibility as a Black revolutionary. Drawing on Black Studies, she challenges conventional narratives and emphasizes the need for nuanced discussions about race and representation.
