Khan narrates the history of Muslims in the Caribbean who are primarily the descendants of enslaved Africans brought to the region during the transatlantic slave trade and descendants of indentured laborers from the Indian subcontinent brought to the Caribbean in the 1830s. She describes how, despite the long history of the two groups, Islam is seen as religion of Indo-Caribbean people and how that and the more recent Arabization or Salafization of Caribbean Islam impacts Muslim identity. The conversation looks at how broader racial tensions and colorism in the postcolonial Caribbean shapes the relationships between Afro-Caribbean and Indo-Caribbean Muslims and what those relationships look like when Caribbean Muslims immigrate to the United States. The discussion touches on the annual Hosay commemoration,  the 1990 coup in Trinidad and the consequences of the wholesale adoption of US 9/11 discourse in the Caribbean. Khan also reflects on what is it like to be a Muslim academic and what Blackness and Black people mean to her work as a non-Black person.

To the question, “If Black Islam had a theme song, what would it be?,”  Aliyah chose My Grandfather was a Muslim by Khaled Siddiq.
