Abstract:

Malcolm X’s life, like his death in 1965, was much documented and observed. Having left an abundance of photographic and filmic images, the material that would become the posthumous The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965), and a number of interviews and recorded speeches, Malcolm X ensured his own cultural afterlife. He also inadvertently guaranteed that ‘we will never have access to an unmediated Malcolm.’ John Edgar Wideman has described the subsequent contestation of his meaning and legacy as ‘the bickering over the corpse of a dead man – who gets the head, the heart, the eyes, the penis, the gold teeth’. Other critics have lamented the cost in historical accuracy of the objectification of Malcolm X, invoking ‘the Malcolm that has often been lost in hero worship’ and the images of Malcolm X ‘all smoothed flat and stylized, like the holy men burning coolly in a Byzantine icon’. This thesis proposes to be the first systematic examination of the iconography of Malcolm X and its attendant narratives. Visual artists have explored Malcolm’s significations within folk and popular contexts. In journalism, critical studies, biographies, plays, screenplays, novels, memoirs, poems, and songs, Malcolm’s interpreters have demonstrated his perpetual incompleteness. This thesis considers the proliferation of images and narratives that constitute the many different Malcolms available for consumption. It is not only African American culture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries that has been refracted through Malcolm X. His representation also speaks to the evolving relationship of written to visual culture since the mid-twentieth century and, indeed, of the interactions of religious, radical, and literary discourses with popular culture. As such, a consideration of the shifting iconography of Malcolm X opens a door on to many of the most contested issues of our times.

Abstract:

Comprendre malcolm x est une etude de l'homme et de ses idees fondee sur les differentes "interpretations" qui sont l'autobiographie de malcolm x ecrite en collaboration avec alex haley, les biographies, les anthologies de ses discours et le film de spike lee sorti en 1992. Cette etude, qui se presente en quatre parties, tente de "comprendre" qui etait malcolm x (1925-1965) et pourquoi un homme tel que lui, souvent decrie de son vivant et eclipse par la presence du pasteur martin luther king, l'embleme du mouvement des droits civiques alors a son apogee, fut l'objet d'un si grand engouement dans les annees quatre-vingt dix, surtout chez la jeune generation d'africains-americains. De la premiere partie consacree a l'examen de l'autobiographie de malcolm x et du role d'alex haley dans la production du texte jusqu'a la derniere partie abordant le theme du "culte du heros", en passant par l'etude biographique et l'analyse de la pensee politique du leader noir, la presente these vise a combattre les idees recues qui deforment l'image de malcolm x. Il est eleve par les uns au statut de heros sans reproche et abaisse par les autres a celui de raciste-extremiste prechant la violence et les idees les plus sectaires. La vie de malcolm x a ete, pour reprendre ses propres expressions, "une chronologie de changements". Il faut donc en tenir compte et evaluer ses idees et ses prises de position aussi par rapport a ces "transformations" qui ont jalonne son parcours. Tout en restant fidele a sa philosophie politique, le nationalisme noir, qui preconisait en particulier l'autodefense et l'autodetermination, malcolm, vers la fin de sa vie, pronait des idees de plus en plus progressistes
Understanding malcolm x is a study of the man and his ideas, based on different "interpretations" including the autobiography of malcolm x as told to alex haley, his biographies, the anthologies of his speeches and the spike lee film released in 1992. This four-part study is an attempt at "understanding" who malcolm x was and why he became the object of such an interest in the nineties, especially among young african-americans, while he was often discredited during his life time and was overshadowed by martin luther king's presence in the forefront of the civils rights movement, then at its height. From the first part examining the autobiography of malcolm x and alex haley's role in the production of the text to the last part dealing with "hero-worship" and media "hype", from the biographical study to the analysis of his political thoughts, this dissertation aims at fighting against preconceived ideas that distort malcolm's image. To some he is a flawless hero and to others he is a racist-extremist preaching violence and the most sectarian ideas. Malcolm's life was, to paraphrase him, "a chronology of changes". One must then keep that in mind and assess his ideas and stands also according to those "changes" that punctuated his career. While remaining faithful to his philosophy of black nationalism that advocated, among other things, the right to self-defense and black self-determination, malcolm, near the end of his life, moved towards more progressive ideas

Full text

Abstract:

Prophet Muhammad stated, “A white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action.” Because of the continual idea of race as a social construct, this study examines the memoirs of Douglass, Jacobs and Malcolm X, as it relates to the narrative of self and identity. They have written their personal autobiographies utilizing diction as a tool that develops their art of storytelling about their distinct life journeys. These protagonists utilize their autobiographical experiences to construct a generational transference of race and identity from when Douglass was born in 1818, to Jacob’s escape to freedom in 1838 to the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965. Historically, the texts are written from where slavery was still an institution until it was abolished in 1865, proceeding through to the Civil Rights movement. Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs and Malcolm X will experience racial trauma throughout their personal narratives that were life-altering events that severely influenced them as they matured from adolescence to adulthood. The writer has determined that, “Racial trauma can be chracterized as being physically and or psychologically damaged because of one’s race or skin color that permanently has long lasting negative effects on an individual’s thoughts, behavior or emotions,” i.e., African American victims of police brutality are racially traumatized because they suffer with behavioral problems and stress, after their encounters. This case study is based on the definition of race as a social construct for Douglass, Jacobs and Malcolm X’s narratives that learn to self-identify beyond the restrictions of racial discrimination which eventually manifests into white oppression in a world that does not readily embrace them. Their autobiographies provide self-reflection and a broad comprehension about how and why they were entrenched by race. Douglass, Jacobs and Malcolm X were stereotyped, socially segregated, and internalized awareness of despair because of their race. Conclusions drawn from Frederick Douglass-Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: American Slave, Harriet Jacobs-Incidences of a Slave Girl, and Malcolm X’s- Autobiography of Malcolm X will exemplify the subject of African American narrators countering racism and maneuvering in society.

Abstract:

Up until the 19th century, religion was used as a way of legitimizing slavery in America. With the rise of the civil rights movement religion seems to have played a quite different role. This essay aims to explore the role of religion in the ideologies of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The speeches, writings and actions of these two men have been analysed in hope that the result will contribute to the larger study of American civil rights history.

This essay proposes that both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X infused their political message with religious ideas and that they leaned on religion for support and inspiration. By analysing the discourse headed by King and X it becomes clear that in direct contrast to how religion was used during slavery, religion was used as a way of legitimizing equality (and in some cases black superiority) between races during the civil rights movement.

Full text

Abstract:

American Political Thought has presented somewhat of a challenge to many because of the conflict between the ideals found within the "American Creed" and the reality of America's treatment of ethnic and social minorities. The various forms of marginalization and oppression facing women, blacks, Native Americans, and Asian-Americans have been as much a part of the story of America as have been natural rights and the Constitution. Taking this into account, this thesis is an effort to argue that the radicalism on display in the Black Panther Party, a group that emerged in the turmoil of the 1960' s, was a direct descendant of the ideas found within the Black Power movement. It will be argued that these militant critiques of American society were radical, but were not so radical as to be viewed as outside of the context provided by the ideals found in the American Creed. In order to do so, it will be necessary first to present and analyze the various approaches toward explaining the content and nature of the American Creed. The Creed will be presented as separate from American political reality, as an ideal type. As a result it appears to be a rather amorphous tool which can be used both by supporters of a more robust realization of the Creed's ideals and those who wish to limit the scope of these ideals. Having discussed these approaches toward the American Creed, a discussion of radical political ideas will serve to introduce the Black Power movement and the later Black Panther Party. It will be argued that the radical ideas on display were born out of a frustration with American society, but were at the same time an endorsement of the American Creed. It will be concluded that the American Creed is a powerful force acting upon American political thought, so powerful that even those who should rationally reject the Creed forcefully embrace it.

Sixties in the American society is a complex and also abundant history. In politics, leaders of the new generation at that time started a whole new prelude. In society and cultural perspective, the drastic motion and change of various forces made American society of that generation resplendent as a kaleidoscope. Conflicts among classes and hierarchies, battles between conservative and liberal, the pendulum between the reality and ideal as well as anti-cultural characteristics gradually prevailed. Return to nature and pursuit of self is spiritual features presented by people in that decade. In addition, various forms of self-liberation and different values enriched the content of American society gradually. However, on the other hand, American society was also led to separation and conflicts, and then the Civil Right Movement hence rose. Since the first nineteen black slaves are brought to the new continent in 1619, problems between black and white races in the U.S. were rooted. When immigrants came to this new territory to pursue freedom, they also gradually lapsed into racial problems, and these problems foreshadowed the serious social conflicts in American history thereafter. A period of social movement must have its origin and expand step by step. American Civil Right Movement, of course, is no exception. Therefore, this thesis will not only study the historical process of American Black Civil Right Movement, but also search the social-historical factors of it as well as the mental status of black people, the oppressed. Thus, through the social-psychological analysis, the thesis chooses Malcolm X, one of Civil Right Movement leaders, to explore the deeper meanings of Civil Right Movement. The structure of the thesis first studies the growing process and personalities of Malcolm X, and his understanding of the subject, freedom. Secondly, it discusses the trend of racism in society at that time, Malcolm’s “dynamic adaptation” toward this society, and reasons for him to become a leader in this social trend. Thirdly, Malcolm’s influences to the Civil Right Movement are canvassed from self-awareness of races, reconstruction of the black community and human rights respectively. The last part is the writer’s personal reflections after the research.

Full text

Abstract:

Post-World War II public schools in Harlem, New York were segregated, under-resourced and educationally inequitable. Addressing disparities in education was of paramount importance for the socioeconomic mobility and future of the neighborhood. In an effort to understand how race, religion, community, and education intersected in this context, this dissertation answers the following research question: How did St. Philip’s, the first Black Episcopal church in the city and one of the most historic churches in Harlem, participate in education during the post-World War II period? Responding to and preventing inequities in the neighborhood, including the substandard state of the public schools, St. Philip’s served as an educational space and organizational base for the community. St. Philip’s participation accounts for the way a Black church emerged as a space for education when the public schools were foundering. The church’s ethos of education - community engagement - reframes traditional frameworks of teaching and learning beyond schoolhouse doors. During the postwar period, St. Philip’s expanded its in-house programming for Black children, youth and adults, constructing a new community youth center, where classes, tutoring, after-school activities, college counseling, career guidance, day-care, recreation and clubs were community staples. Understanding the importance of inclusivity, continuity and consistency, programming was accessible to the entire neighborhood, regardless of membership with year-round services such as summer camp and career counseling. As an organizational base, the church hosted education talks and committee meetings, facilitating a forum for the community to engage in critical conversations about the state of education. It was a safe space for transparency and troubleshooting. Concerns about education expanded beyond conversations in the church, however. St. Philip’s corresponded directly with city governance, petitioning school-makers with recommendations and demands. This dissertation broadens the traditional civil rights narrative of Black religious activism, which has the tendency to dichotomize who participated and how they participated. This polarization includes regions: North-South, religions: Christian-Muslim, figureheads: Martin Luther King, Jr.-Malcolm X, and strategies: peaceful-militant. Historians Charles Payne and Nikhil Pal Singh push back on this oversimplified interpretation as “King-centric.”* St. Philip’s educational activism foils this paradigm as a Black Episcopal institution in a northern city. St. Philip’s brings nuance to categorizations of Black churches as either being focused on the far-reaching goal of social transformation or compliant with conservative social philosophies based on respectability politics. Its participation was both radical (such as establishing educational programming at the Community youth center that was open to members and non-members alike, regardless of class, age, political or religious beliefs) and conservative (such as sitting out of the 1964 citywide school boycott, while the majority of the Black community participated). In this way, St. Philip’s educational activism in Harlem calls into question criticisms of the Black Episcopal Church that position it as elitist and accommodationist to white values and white power, hence, apathetic to the challenges facing the Black population in cities during the post-World War II period. *Nikhil Pal Singh, Black Is a Country: Race and the Unfinished Struggle for Democracy (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2004), 6; and Charles Payne, I’ve Got the Light of Freedom: The Organizing Tradition and the Mississippi Freedom Struggle (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1995), 419.
