Making Malcolm Summary

Making Malcolm: The Myth and Meaning of Malcolm X by Michael Eric Dyson (Director of the Institute of African-American Research, and Professor of Communication Studies, Director of the Institute of African-American Research, and Professor of Communication Studies, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)

Twenty years after his assassination, what is it about Malcolm X's life and words that speaks so powerfully to so many? In Making Malcolm, Michael Eric Dyson probes the myths and meanings of Malcolm X for our time. From Spike Lee's film biography to Eugene Wolfenstein's psychobiographical study, from hip-hop culture to gender and racial politics, Dyson cuts a critical swathe through both the idolization and the vicious caricatures that have undermined appreciation of Malcolm's greatest accomplishments. A rare and important book, Making Malcolm casts new light not only on the life and career of a seminal black leader, but on the aspirations and passions of the growing numbers who have seized on his life for insight and inspiration.
