‘We Demand Our Own Nation’: The Emergence of the Moors

In a recent episode of ‘VICE’, Alzo Slade delves into the world of Moorish Nationalism in America, meeting with Moors to understand their origin story, heritage, and the reasons behind the growing appeal of Moorish Nationalism in the current social and political landscape. The Moors, a group of people who identify with a historical and cultural connection to North Africa and the Islamic Golden Age, are advocating for their own nation within the United States.

Despite being a small and often marginalized community, Moors in America are gaining traction in their pursuit for self-determination and autonomy. With a focus on reclaiming their heritage and challenging the status quo, Moorish Nationalism has been steadily gaining support among those who feel alienated from mainstream society and politics.

The rise of Moorish Nationalism can be attributed to a combination of factors, including a desire for cultural and historical recognition, as well as a response to perceived injustices and systemic discrimination. As the social and political landscape in America continues to evolve, the Moors are leveraging their unique identity and history to carve out a space for themselves within the broader national narrative.

Through interviews and discussions with Moors in America, Alzo Slade uncovers the deep-rooted motivations and aspirations driving the movement for Moorish Nationalism. From reclaiming ancestral lands to advocating for greater autonomy and self-governance, the Moors are united in their vision for a new nation that reflects their cultural heritage and values.

As Moorish Nationalism gains momentum, it raises important questions about identity, belonging, and the complexities of multiculturalism in America. By shedding light on the perspectives and experiences of Moors in America, ‘VICE’ provides a unique insight into a movement that is reshaping the political and social landscape in the United States.
