CHLT 063 CH -Transformative Life of Malcom X

Institution: Pitzer

Description: The Transformative Life and Politics of Malcolm X: How did the world shape Malcolm X and his radical politics? In asking this question, we will study how Malcolm X’s transformation from a hustler to a prisoner to a Black Muslim significantly shaped his revolutionary vision for liberation. His life experience gave him an understanding that Black liberation in the United States is entangled with the Third World. As a class, we will situate Malcolm X within this complex history of anticolonialism and Civil Rights to learn how Malcolm X transformed himself to transform the world.
