Chapter 2 examines a second Latino Muslim wave consisting of prominent organizations like PIEDAD (a Piety women’s group), the Latino American Dawah Organization (LADO), and the Los Angeles Latino Muslim Association (LALMA). PIEDAD was founded in 1988 as a support group by and for women in Florida. LADO was founded in 1997 as a network for the dissemination of Islamic information to Latino audiences via Internet technologies. LALMA was founded in 1999 as a Qur’anic study group in Los Angeles. All three organizations were inspired by the work and stories developed by the Alianza Islámica but also moved away from the first Latino Muslim paradigm in unique ways. The new organizations concentrated almost exclusively on the production and study of information, they worked within rather than autonomously from broader American Muslim groups, and they developed within a distinct historical context.
