Author Description

He Lives! An Autoethnography of Encounters with Elijah Muhammad describes in-person encounters with Elijah Muhammad in the mid to late 1990’s. Using autoethnography as a research approach the author discloses in-person encounters with Elijah Muhammad as they were reported to him. For the purpose of this study four witnesses disclose in-person encounters with Elijah Muhammad in brevity. The author didn’t use traditional sampling techniques but instead considers these participants as witnesses that emerged. Therefore, by using a hybrid autoethnographic approach the author combined the elements of analytic and evocative autoethnography.
