The Malcolm Effect Revisited: Ruminations On Race, Religion, Gender, and Political Economy

The Malcolm Effect Revisited: Ruminations On Race, Religion, Gender, and Political Economy

To have encountered Malcolm X’s life is to be affected by his commitment to justice—an effect that reverberates throughout one’s life. It’s such a poignant effect that one feels it over and over, always returning to those piercing questions put forward by Malcolm: “Who taught you to hate yourself?" and “How can you thank a man for giving you what’s already yours?”. In the spirit of Malcolm’s piercing questions, The Malcolm Effect Revisited brings you a host of questions put forward by the author (Momodou Taal) to the guests of the Malcolm Effect Podcast—from Cornel West, Robin D.G. Kelley, Charisse Burden-Stelly, Vijay Prashad, and more. The book features reflections on the posed questions in essay format ranging from African History, Black Internationalism, Gender, Islam, Marxism, Pan-Africanism, Political Economy, Race, and much more.
