Beskrivning

This book examines the significance of Malcolm X as a social theorist. Though Malcolm X has been studied and written about extensively, this is the first book to offer an in-depth look at his contributions to critical social theory. Through analyzing Malcolm X’s views on race, religion, academia, philosophy, and politics, Reimagining Malcolm X provides a new conceptualization of this important thinker and activist.
