In the year 2015 we remembered the 50th anniversary of Malcolm X’s assassination in Harlem, New York. Spurred by the commitment to continue the critical work that Malcolm X began, the scholars represented in the book have analysed the enduring significance of Malcolm X’s life, work and religious philosophy. Edited by Dustin J. Byrd and Seyed Javad Miri, Malcolm X: From Political Eschatology to Religious Revolutionary, represents an important investigation into the religious and political philosophy of one of the most important African-American and Muslim thinkers of the 20th century. Thirteen different scholars from six different countries and various academic disciplines have contributed to our understanding of why Malcolm X is still important fifty years after his death. Contributors are: Syed Farid Alatas, Dustin J. Byrd, Bethany Beyyette, Louis A. DeCaro, Stephen C. Ferguson, William David Hart, John H. McClendon, Seyed Javad Miri, John Andrew Morrow, Emin Poljarevic, Rudolf J. Siebert, Nuri Tinaz and Yolanda Van Tilborgh.
By exploring the ingratiatory efficacy and constitutive power of never-neutral discursive performances and political theatrics as staged by the two private entrepreneurs either in lockstep with or in distinction from official political communication, this study critiques hegemony as a species of nihilism and affirms vitalism as a desirable mode of dissent. It presents "rhetoric," with a lower-case "r," as a sensibility-praxis that promises to enable the multifold disempowered multitude in transition-period China to comically invent "new possibilities of life" and repossess the top-down Reform program.
