The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews is a three-volume work of pseudo-scholarship,[7] published by the Nation of Islam. The first volume, which was released in 1991, asserts that Jews dominated the Atlantic slave trade.[8] The Secret Relationship has been widely criticized for being antisemitic and for failing to provide an objective analysis of the role of Jews in the slave trade.[9][10][11][12] The American Historical Association issued a statement condemning claims that Jews played a disproportionate role in the Atlantic slave trade,[12] and other historians such as Wim Klooster and Seymour Drescher concluded that the role of Jews in the overall Atlantic slave trade was in fact minimal.[13][14]

The book uses selective citations in order to exaggerate the role of Jews.[11][15][16]
