The Suppression and Liberation of Malcolm’s Personal Agency: Malcolm X and His Religio-Racial Understanding of White People
Although the canonical interpretation by scholars of the life and thought of Malcolm X suggest that he would experience a major shift in his views on race, this author contends that Malcolm’s post-Hajj declarations about the white race were his beliefs about white people all along. It is not denied that Malcolm himself assisted in the construction of his Hajj experience being understood as an epiphany moment in regard to his views on race. However, a postcolonial studies reading that aims to uncover the agency of subaltern subjects provides a lens for a critical look at his words and actions throughout his life and provides a different explanation. Engaging with Judith Weisenfeld’s religio-racial theory, it is argued that Malcolm conceded to the Nation of Islam’s beliefs about race through suppressing his personal beliefs because of his acceptance of the overall mission of the group.
期刊介绍:
For the last quarter of a century, the Journal of Black Studies has been the leading source for dynamic, innovative, and creative approach on the Black experience. Poised to remain at the forefront of the recent explosive growth in quality scholarship in the field of Black studies, the Journal of Black Studies is now published six times per year. This means a greater number of important and intellectually provocative articles exploring key issues facing African Americans and Blacks can now be given voice. The scholarship inside JBS covers a wide range of subject areas, including: society, social issues, Afrocentricity, economics, culture, media, literature, language, heritage, and biology.
