Elan: The Guide to Global Muslim Culture, a leading quarterly lifestyle publication, released a free special inauguration issue devoted fully to exploring Muslim responses to Barack Obama's historic election and how his presidency will affect both domestic and international engagement with Muslims.
Reflecting on President-elect Obama's impact domestically, the Inauguration Edition contains an exclusive feature written by Ilyasah Shabazz, a daughter of Malcolm X, and another by Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Muhammad, a prominent American civil rights leader.
Regarding Obama's ascendancy and his promise to "reboot America's image" abroad, the issue will include short reflections by everyday Muslims on how to improve relations between the new U.S. presidential administration and Muslim-majority countries.
While many publications have reported and analyzed global Muslim responses to this historic election, Elan's close connections with young Muslims around the world provides it with a rare ability to deliver these perspectives not as outsiders, but rather as members of the same community. Elan provides a conduit for the breadth of voices and perspectives of a distinct community which is so often overlooked in the mainstream media.
