Author Description

Rediscovering Malcolm X: The Man, The Myth, The Message is a profound anthology dedicated to the multifaceted legacy of Malcolm X. With a rich foreword that frames his life, ideology, and lasting socio-political impact, this collection of scholarly articles peels back the layers of Malcolm X's complex persona. Each article offers unique insights into various aspects of his life, examining his spiritual transformation, influence on Black Liberation Theology, and rhetorical mastery.

One article addresses the controversial topic of Malcolm's sexuality with scholarly rigor, while another situates his autobiography within the canon of U.S. working-class literature.
