Download or read book Malcolm X written by James L. Conyers and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written on the life and work of Malcolm X, one of the most important Black leaders of the twentieth century. Editors Conyers and Smallwood have assembled an impressive array of contributors whose works reflect their expertise in the fields of history, sociology, social work, religion, literature, labor and management, and Africana studies. The essays fuse social science, humanistic, and professional studies methods as they look at Malcolm X and his contributions in place, space, and time. The objective of the essays is simple and straightforward. First, the book hopes to challenge scholars in Africana studies to re-examine and re-emphasize Africana leadership of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Certainly, the idea of this reclamation is critical to examining agency and sovereignty of African people. Second, the articles promote the implementation of Afrocentric meta-theories in order to describe and evaluate Africana phenomena. Lastly, the contributions offer readers interdisciplinary tools for restoring, connecting, and retaining the cultural milieu of Africana accomplishments.
Download or read book Reciprocals and Reflexives written by Ekkehard König and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of original papers is a representative survey of recent theoretical and cross-linguistic work on reciprocity and reflexivity. Its most remarkable feature is its combination of formal approaches, case studies on individual languages and broad typological surveys in one volume, showing that the interaction of formal approaches to grammar and typology may lead to new insights and results for both fields. Among the major issues addressed in this volume are the following: How can our current knowledge about the space and limits of variation in the relevant domain be captured in a structural typology of reciprocity? What light can such a typology shed on the facts of particular languages or groups of languages (e.g. Austronesian)? How can recent descriptive and typological insights be incorporated into a revised and more adequate version of the Binding Theory? How do verbal semantics, argument structure and reciprocal markers interact? How can we explain the pervasive patterns of ambiguity observable in these two domains, especially the use of the same forms both as reflexive and reciprocal markers? What are the major sources in the historical development of reciprocal markers? This combination of large-scale typological surveys with in-depth studies of particular languages provides new answers to old questions and raises important new questions for future research.

Download or read book Malcolm X and African American Self Consciousness written by Magnus O. Bassey and published by Em Texts. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that Malcolm X told African Americans to affirm their blooming sense of self and to assert themselves in their own uniqueness. However, he realized that the first route to African American affirmation of self was to awaken black self-consciousness and he therefore called for black wide-awakeness. The book concludes that "Malcolm X's call for a psychological return to Africa through a process of historical reconstruction was aimed at overthrowing the enslavement of African American thought and thereby setting African Americans on the path to freedom and human dignity."
Download or read book Malcolm X A Biography written by Steven Takamura and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malcolm X was a famous African-American human rights activist and spokesperson for Black Nationalism in the United States. As a polarizing figure within the media of mid-20th century America, he attracted massive plaudits from his followers and huge criticisms from his opponents. Departing from the passive practices of his contemporaries, Malcolm advocated a much more aggressive approach in the fight for the civil rights of African-Americans. His speeches electrified his audiences and terrified his enemies. As if in narrative, it was during one of his speeches, doing what he did best, that Malcolm was assassinated by three gunmen set on silencing him. With his family moving several times due to racist incidents as a boy, Malcolm's negative views towards white people and institutionalized racism developed early. Never settling for long and watching his family fall apart, he fell into a young life of crime and was sent to a juvenile detention center at the age of 13. It was that same year that his mother was placed in a mental institution. Leaving school at 15, he became involved with gambling, drug dealing, and racketeering, before eventually being sent to prison for breaking and entering at the age of 20. It was there, through a friend, that he discovered the power of words for the first time. Encouraged by his brothers from the outside, he found religion, became a Muslim and joined the Nation of Islam. Upon his release he became a minister for the Nation of Islam and quickly rose through their ranks.
