Brooklyn: Ansaru Allah, 1983. 5 vols. 8vo. Generally very good. 5 vols. 8vo. A collection of leaflets from the Ansaru [alternately spelled Ansaaru] Allah Community, founded in 1967 by Dwight D. York as the Ansaar Pure Sufi, a Black Power Muslim group that would eventually incorporate ideas from Ancient Egypt, Judaism, Christianity, Annunaki, and Scientology, among other new age esoterica. The group operated as the Ansaaru Allah Community from 1973–1992, and was based in Bushwick, Brooklyn for the first half of that period, when these tracts were published.
