"A Profession Unregulated: The Americanization of the American Imam,” depicts competing points of authorization for Islam in America to demonstrate how the profession of the American imam is still in gestation and is being co-constituted by an Islamic tradition, a historically Christian American religious culture, and the bureaucratic processes of institutionalization to argue that there is a transition unfolding from a more dominant traditional Islamic authority to an administrative authorizing power through pursuit of greater professional regulation.
