Podcasts about Manning Marable

In this conversation we talk with Garrett Felber about their latest book A Continuous Struggle: The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre.  In discussing this new political biography, we cover Sostre's ideological and political journey, history as a jailhouse lawyer, his forms of organizing practice, and the ways that people supported his campaign for freedom from political imprisonment. We talk about the influence of Great Depression era Harlem, Black and Puerto Rican Nationalism, Marxism-Leninism, national liberation movements, armed struggle, Women's Liberation, and Anarchism on Sostre's political thought and practice. Although much of what we know about Martin Sostre has to do with political letters and writings during the time of his incarceration, Felber also shares insights that few know about Sostre's life, community organizing, and institution building on the outside. Garrett Felber is an educator, writer, and organizer. They are the author of Those Who Know Don't Say: The Nation of Islam, the Black Freedom Movement, and the Carceral State, and coauthor of The Portable Malcolm X Reader, with Manning Marable. Felber is a cofounder of the abolitionist collective Study and Struggle and is currently building a radical mobile library, the Free Society People's Library, in Portland, Oregon. Yesterday we hosted Garrett Felber along with Russell Shoatz III on a livestream where we talked about some of the resonances between Martin Sostre's life, political thought, and approaches to political prisoner defense work and that of Russell “Maroon” Shoatz and we also discussed CURBfest which is expanding to the West Coast for the first time this year.  Tomorrow Thursday the 29th we will host a livestream on Sundiata Jawanza's Freedom Campaign including a quickly approaching parole hearing. We encourage all of you to go to the website and send letters of support for his release. The website says that letters were due on May 19th, but there is still just a little time if you can get a letter in the mail today or at least submit one electronically or contribute to the legal support fund that would be great.  There are a number of other initiatives we want to share related to this episode, the campaign to free the Mississippi 5 which Garrett Felber mentions in this episode and the exoneration effort for Martin Sostre and his codefendant who is still with Geraldine (Robinson) Pointer. Links for that are in the show description. If you like the work that we do, please contribute to our patreon or BuyMeACoffee accounts. These episodes each take hours of preparation, recording time, and production time and listeners like you are the only means of support for that work. Over the last month we've seen a 10% decline in recurring support. We know people are under financial strain right now, but if more of you who listen are able to contribute even a dollar a month it helps make this show possible and sustainable. Thank you for your support! Links:  Martin Sostre and Geraldine (Robinson) Pointer's names should have been cleared after they were framed.

I got my job back! I talk about how that transition has been over the last few weeks, and what I've been doing outside of work. I discuss my thoughts and experiences with books I've read like Ministry of the Future and the Malcolm X book written by Manning Marable, events I went to like the Malcolm X festival and the Resist and Build festival, as well as thoughts I've had around things like utopianism and conservativism. Here's the podcast my brother and I have been doing (couple of weeks behind the uploads): https://open.spotify.com/show/5SPKle96FpcHRgU0myEFEs?si=SVj2zPyaT22WwpoPeISraA

The singular voice of Malcolm X speaks today to more people than ever before. He endures as a powerful and inspirational figure. It's not hard to understand why. With his mesmerizing oratorical style and cadence, it was Malcolm who redefined the discourse on race. He moved the discussion from notions of "prejudice" and "discrimination" to racism. It was Malcolm who articulated concepts like "community control" and "white power structure" and “the field Negro and the house Negro.” It was Malcolm who made it clear that Blacks were the victims of a system of domination and exploitation that was not regional but national, not superficial but structural, not episodic but ongoing and intentional. His uncompromising critical analysis gave Malcolm his moral authority. He was assassinated on February 21, 1965, but as new generations discover him, his ideas live on. Recorded at Metro State College.

Today's episode is with award-winning writer, scholar and activist Frank B. Wilderson III. Frank is known as the Godfather of Afropessimism: a critical theory that positions anti-blackness as the antidote for the psychic well-being of society. Did that sound heady? Well, pull out our pen and paper. Frank's curiosity and fearlessness in revealing hard truths, takes us on a scholarly journey that will surely require some unpacking.   In part two of today's episode, Frank reminds us to be fearless in the pursuit of knowledge, even if that knowledge reveals unhealthy truths.  Strap in, as Frank takes us on a ride exploring the foundational tenets Afropessimism along with his own thoughts about reconciliation, activism, and what it means to be a Black individual living in a state of social consciousness and racial reckoning.  Please share some of your thoughts on today's episode with us over on twitter and instagram at @blackimagination.

Today's episode is with award-winning writer, scholar and activist Frank B. Wilderson III. Frank is known as the Godfather of Afropessimism: a critical theory that anti-blackness is “necessary for world-making at every level of abstraction.” Did that sound heady? Well, get ready. Frank's curiosity, appetite for knowledge and nuance, along with his fearlessness to explore what is, in the absence of what isn't, reminds us of the importance of inquiry and the power of examining the world around us.  In part one of today's episode, Frank reminds us to be fearless in the pursuit of knowledge, even if that knowledge reveals unhealthy truths. Strap in, as Frank takes us on a ride exploring Afropessimism and themes of reconciliation, activism, and what it means to be a young Black man living in a state of social consciousness and racial reckoning.

Você vai ouvir sobre a Abolição da escravidão no Ceará, que data de 25 de março de 1884, completando 137 anos em 2021. Nossos guias principais para este episódio do SerifaCast são o cientista social e mestre em História Social, professor Hilário Ferreira e o livro Histórias dos Negros no Ceará (https://www.editorafi.org/037negros) - baixe grátis. Hilário nos conta perspectivas, lutas e protagonismos de negros cativos e libertos no Estado. Você também conhecerá projetos transformadores atuais na mídia, na política e no podcast, que dão sequência à luta antirracista por equidade, oportunidades e visibilidades. /// Contemple as vozes e entendimentos da professora de graduação e mestrado em Serviço Social da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE), além de Assessora Especial de Acolhimento aos Movimentos Sociais no Ceará, Zelma Madeira; da artista, educadora social e covereadora da mandata coletiva Nossa Cara, Lila M. Salu; do jornalista e escritor Bruno de Castro (portal Ceará Criolo); da jornalista Larissa Carvalho (portal Negrê); das jornalistas e podcasters Alice Sousa e Letícia Feitosa (Podcast Kilombas) e da estudante, ilustradora e podcaster Leíssa Feitosa (Podcast Kilombas). Ajuste os fones de ouvido e dê o play no áudio-doc Abolição no Ceará: histórias de protagonismos de pessoas negras. /// Em cinco meses de produção deste episódio, no tempo em que a Pandemia de Covid-10 e outras atividades me permitiram, fiz leituras, assisti a vídeos, consultei documentos, fiz entrevistas e escutas pra chegarmos a este conteúdo, que tem pouco mais de uma hora e meia. Mesmo assim, ficou muita coisa de fora e cortar falas maravilhosas foi doloroso. Foi um tempo de aprendizados pessoais sobre o tema, contribuindo para transformar a visão um pouco equivocada, romantizada e distorcida sobre a Abolição no Ceará. Espero que traga reflexões para você também, serifeiro e serifeira. /// As duas cenas mais lembradas na declaração de Abolição no Ceará são as seguintes: a elite cearense de Fortaleza celebrando no Passeio Público (Praça dos Mártires) - local onde negros não frequentavam. Aliás, revoltosos eram enforcados por lá. A Assembleia Provincial também comemorou. É dia 25 de março de 1884 e o presidente da província do Ceará, Sátyro de Oliveira Dias, declara: "Cabe-me a satisfação de consignar neste documento, para honra da Província que acabo de administrar, o facto grandioso da extincção do elemento servil em todo o seu território, tanto mais me desvaneço de o fazer, quanto posso affirmar que n'esta importante conquista não tive de testemunhar em desmerecimento do seu transcendente valor, a pratica q auqluer attentado contra a ordem publica ou direitos individuaes". /// A Abolição da escravização de pessoas negras no Ceará foi uma condição pioneira no Brasil, que só viria a declarar a Abolição em todo o território nacional em 13 de maio de 1888. Com isso, hoje, o Ceará é conhecido hoje como "Terra da Luz"; nomeou a sede do Governo do Estado como Palácio da Abolição; tem uma de suas principais avenidas chamadas de Abolição; batizou o seu principal centro cultura de Dragão do Mar e conquistou uma universidade federal para negros na cidade de Redenção, onde declarou-se primeiro o fim da escravidão no Ceará.   /// Dito isso, trazemos as reflexões: Que Abolição foi essa? Qual teria sido a Abolição ideal? Por que o Ceará foi pioneiro? Por que, ainda hoje, há pessoas que defendem não haver negros no Ceará? Quem foram os "dragões do mar"? Como pessoas não negras, principalmente brancos, podem se engajar na luta antirracista?  /// Se liga na timeline do episódio: [0:00] Abertura e apresentação do áudio-doc; [2:59] Contextualização histórica do professor Hilário Ferreira; [6:55] Antes da Abolição em Fortaleza, houve em Acarape/Redenção; [7:46] "Abolição", entre aspas; [9:45] A origem da perseguição a negros pelas forças de segurança; [12:04] O califado do Nordeste; [16:17] Tráfico interno atrasou a Abolição; [18:09] Quantidade de negros escravizados no Ceará distorcida; [20:22] Um dos fortes motivos da Abolição no Ceará; [23:02] Os "dragões do mar"/ "Dragão da várias cabeças"; [23:37] Podcast Kilombas https://open.spotify.com/show/0pN0feRNbeszJo6L1fcitc; [39:35] Jangadeiros eram todos negros; [41:21] Negro Cosme; [42:52] Dragão do Mar; [44:20] José Napoleão; [47:11] Dragão do Mar no Rio de Janeiro com Imperador Dom Pedro II; [53:29] Preta Tia Simoa; [54:30] Mandata coletiva de vereadoras negras Nossa Cara https://www.instagram.com/nossacaramandata/; [57:40] Ceará Criolo https://cearacriolo.com.br; [1:05:35] Negrê https://negre.com.br; [1:10:25] Como teria sido a Abolição ideal; [1:15:48] Por que ainda há quem defenda não haver negros no Ceará?

On the second Friday evening of each month, ESFL screens a labor history film. In this video ESFL's Peter Rachleff discusses the historical context for "Finally Got the News" with David Colman, Associate Professor of African American History, Ramapo College of New Jersey, and James Robinson, Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies, Metropolitan State University. This film traces the activities of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers inside and outside the auto factories of Detroit. Through interviews with the members of the movement, footage shot in the auto plants, and footage of leafleting and picketing actions, the film documents their efforts to build an independent black labor organization that, unlike the UAW, will respond to worker's problems, such as the assembly line speed-up and inadequate wages faced by both black and white workers in the industry. It provides a rare opportunity for African American industrial workers to represent themselves on film and for a self-identified revolutionary organization to provide their own perspective on the past, the present, and the future. The late historian Manning Marable wrote: “The League [of Revolutionary Black Workers] was in many respects the most significant expression of black radical thought and activism in the 1960s. The League took the impetus for Black Power and translated it into a fighting program focusing on industrial workers.” Oral historian and filmmaker Dan Georgakas (author of Detroit: I Do Mind Dying) wrote: “Ideological in the best sense: it is a film about ideas [and] presents a serious strategy for mass working class action… It speaks of a specific time and specific experiences in terms that will remain relevant as long as working people are not able to control their own lives.” To view the video with closed captioning: YouTube.com/eastsidefreedomlibraryorg

Catch the full interview here at https://newbooksnetwork.com/a-lie-of-...or on Megaphone here: https://megaphone.link/LIT4842104326This is an excerpt from an interview which is part of a Special Series on Malcolm X and Black Nationalism on the New Books Network. In this series, we delve into the background of Malcolm X's action and thought in the context of Black Nationalism, correcting the fundamentally mistaken notion that Malcolm X was a civil rights leader. He certainly did not see himself in that way, and explicitly argued otherwise. This helps us place the Afro-American struggle in its dimensions beyond the current American nation-state, including the Black Atlantic, and beyond.In this episode, my guest is Jared Ball, co-editor of A Lie of Reinvention: Correcting Manning Marable's Malcolm X (Black Classic Press, 2012).A Lie of Reinvention is a response to Manning Marable's biography of Malcolm X, A Life of Reinvention. Marable's book was controversially acclaimed by some as his magnum opus. At the same time, it was denounced and debated by others as a worthless read full of conjecture, errors, and without any new factual content. In this collection of critical essays, editors Jared Ball and Todd Steven Burroughs lead a group of established and emerging Black scholars and activists who take a clear stance in this controversy: Marable's biography is at best flawed and at worst a major setback in American history, African American studies, and scholarship on the life of Malcolm X.  

Garrett Felber joins the Beyond Prisons podcast to discuss Study and Struggle, which he helped launch in 2020 as “a bilingual political education program on abolition and immigrant justice which supports and collaborates with grassroots organizations in Mississippi.” (NOTE: This episode was recorded a few weeks before Felber was wrongfully fired by the University of Mississippi for speaking out against its racist donors and role in perpetuating the carceral state; you can find out more about what happened here.) Felber is a former assistant professor of history at the University of Mississippi and the author of Those Who Know Don’t Say: The Nation of Islam, the Black Freedom Movement and the Carceral State and co-author of The Portable Malcolm X Reader with the late Manning Marable.   He was the lead organizer of the Making and Unmaking Mass Incarceration conference and Project Director of the Parchman Oral History Project, a collaborative oral history, archival, and documentary storytelling project on incarceration in Mississippi. In 2016, Felber co-founded Liberation Literacy, an abolitionist collective inside and outside Oregon prisons.   Felber is currently a fellow at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University, where he will be working on his next book project: We Are All Political Prisoners: The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre.  Episode Notes & Resources Study And Struggle: https://www.studyandstruggle.com/ Those Who Know Don’t Say: The Nation of Islam, the Black Freedom Movement, and the Carceral State: https://uncpress.org/book/9781469653822/those-who-know-dont-say/ Follow Garrett on Twitter: https://twitter.com/garrett_felber Credits Created and hosted by Kim Wilson and Brian Sonenstein Edited by Ellis Maxwell Website & volunteers managed by Victoria Nam Theme music by Jared Ware Support Beyond Prisons Visit our website at beyond-prisons.com Support our show and join us on Patreon.

This is part of our Special Series on Malcolm X and Black Nationalism. In this series, we delve into the background of Malcolm X's action and thought in the context of Black Nationalism, correcting the fundamentally mistaken notion that Malcolm X was a civil rights leader. He certainly did not see himself in that way, and explicitly argued otherwise. This helps us place the Afro-American struggle in its dimensions beyond the current American nation-state, including the Black Atlantic, and beyond. Today, our guest is Jared Ball, co-editor of A Lie of Reinvention: Correcting Manning Marable's Malcolm X (Black Classic Press, 2012). A Lie of Reinvention is a response to Manning Marable’s biography of Malcolm X, A Life of Reinvention. Marable’s book was controversially acclaimed by some as his magnum opus. At the same time, it was denounced and debated by others as a worthless read full of conjecture, errors, and without any new factual content. In this collection of critical essays, editors Jared Ball and Todd Steven Burroughs lead a group of established and emerging Black scholars and activists who take a clear stance in this controversy: Marable’s biography is at best flawed and at worst a major setback in American history, African American studies, and scholarship on the life of Malcolm X. In the tradition of John Henrik Clarke’s classic anthology “William Styron’s Nat Turner: Ten Black Writers Respond,” this volume provides a striking critique of Marable’s text. In 1968, Clarke and his assembled writers felt it essential to respond to Styron’s fictionalized and ahistorical Nat Turner, the heroic leader of one of America’s most famous revolts against enslavement. In A Lie of Reinvention, the editors sense a different threat to an African American icon, Malcolm X. This time, the threat is presented as an authoritative biography. To counter the threat, Ball and Burroughs respond with a barbed collection of commentaries of Marable’s text. The essays come from all quarters of the Black community. From behind prison walls, Mumia Abu-Jamal revises his prior public praise of Marable’s book with an essay written specifically for this volume. A. Peter Bailey, a veteran journalist who worked with Malcolm X’s Organization for Afro-American Unity, disputes how he is characterized in Marable’s book. Bill Strickland, who also knew Malcolm X, provides what he calls a “personal critique” of the biography. Younger scholars such as Kali Akuno, Kamau Franklin, Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua, Christopher M. Tinson, Eugene Puryear and Greg Thomas join veterans Rosmari Mealy, Raymond Winbush, Amiri Baraka and Karl Evanzz in pointing out historical problems and ideological misinterpretations in Marable’s work.

This is part of our Special Series on Malcolm X and Black Nationalism. In this series, we delve into the background of Malcolm X's action and thought in the context of Black Nationalism, correcting the fundamentally mistaken notion that Malcolm X was a civil rights leader. He certainly did not see himself in that way, and explicitly argued otherwise. This helps us place the Afro-American struggle in its dimensions beyond the current American nation-state, including the Black Atlantic, and beyond. Today, our guest is Jared Ball, co-editor of A Lie of Reinvention: Correcting Manning Marable's Malcolm X (Black Classic Press, 2012). A Lie of Reinvention is a response to Manning Marable’s biography of Malcolm X, A Life of Reinvention. Marable’s book was controversially acclaimed by some as his magnum opus. At the same time, it was denounced and debated by others as a worthless read full of conjecture, errors, and without any new factual content. In this collection of critical essays, editors Jared Ball and Todd Steven Burroughs lead a group of established and emerging Black scholars and activists who take a clear stance in this controversy: Marable’s biography is at best flawed and at worst a major setback in American history, African American studies, and scholarship on the life of Malcolm X. In the tradition of John Henrik Clarke’s classic anthology “William Styron’s Nat Turner: Ten Black Writers Respond,” this volume provides a striking critique of Marable’s text. In 1968, Clarke and his assembled writers felt it essential to respond to Styron’s fictionalized and ahistorical Nat Turner, the heroic leader of one of America’s most famous revolts against enslavement.

From 2002 - Manning Marable discusses his book "The Great Wells of Democracy- Reconstructing Race and Politics in the 21st Century."

I once wrote that Black Americans are involved in an intriguing experiment to see if an oppressed minority can continue to march forward if there is not a strong and vibrant left-wing and radical movement. That's not an experiment I would recommend, although the story is still unfolding and we will see how it unfolds, but they are not the sort of conditions in which an oppressed minority should have to struggle. -Gerald Horne   In this time of massive uprisings not just all over the country, but all over the world, we're seeing people demand for a defunding of law enforcement, and a push for real systemic change at the way we actually viewing policing.  I was lucky enough to land a big influence of mine, professor and author Gerald Horne on to discuss where the left is in it's current state.  Professor Horne documented the deep rooted systemic causes of the of those riots in 1965 and their political ripple effect.  We discussed the opptimism of the current movement, but also the slight pessimism that exists in these moments as well.       A little about Professor Horne:   Horne has also produced broad canvas chronicles of infrequently examined periods and aspects of the history of white supremacy and imperialism such as the post-civil war involvement of the US ruling class—newly dispossessed of human chattels—with slavery in Brazil, which was not legally abolished until 1888, or the attempts by Japanese imperialists in the mid-20th century to appear as the leaders of a global war against white supremacy, thus allies and instruments of "liberation" for people of color oppressed by imperialism. Manning Marable has said: "Gerald Horne is one of the most gifted and insightful historians on racial matters of his generation."( From NYU Press)   Find Professor Horne's most recent book here: https://www.amazon.com/Dawning-Apocalypse-Supremacy-Colonialism-Capitalism/dp/1583678727/ref=pd_lpo_14_t_1/140-6714773-6494242?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1583678727&pd_rd_r=56a5bea7-2d41-4228-9f69-464fbb987149&pd_rd_w=QdfYC&pd_rd_wg=7fYkW&pf_rd_p=7b36d496-f366-4631-94d3-61b87b52511b&pf_rd_r=A79S758K8MAHNZCDH4XX&psc=1&refRID=A79S758K8MAHNZCDH4XX   Follow and Like Professor Horne on Facebook Here: https://www.facebook.com/Gerald-Horne-101434631429017/   Thank you for taking the time to check this out.  We truly appreciate it.  Please help support independent media and become a patron.  You'll get the shows a full day early, as well as all the bonus content and even show merchandise!   Become a Patron Also, follow, like, share, and subscribe on the following platforms:   YouTube   Facebook   Twitter   Instagram   Medium

Guest: Dr. Peniel Joseph, Author of «The Sword and The Shield », Professor of History at the University of Texas Austin, Founding Director Center for the Study of Race and Democracy. His past publications include: Waiting 'Til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America and Dark Days, Bright Nights: From Black Power to Barack Obama. Dr. Joseph's most recent book, Stokely: A Life With the release of his new book titled “The Sword and The Shield” renowned scholar, pioneer of “black power” studies and professor of History at the University of Texas Austin, Dr Peniel Joseph takes on the challenge of exploring the bound lives of Malcolm X and Dr Martin Luther King Jr. SUBSCRIBE AND LISTEN TO LE BREAKDOWN on: iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Google podcast, Stitcher, Radio Public, Breaker, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Podbean and all major podcasting platforms. “The more I read about Malcolm and Martin, the more I felt people got them wrong” Dr Peniel Joseph In his timely research work, Dr Peniel shatters the notion that the two giants of the civil rights era were either competing opposites, bitter rivals or rigid ideologues stuck with either advocating violence or advocating pacifism. As James Baldwin put it in his essay “Malcolm and Martin”: “Malcolm and Martin, beginning at what seemed to be very different points …by the time each met his death there was practically no difference between them. Before either had had time to think their new positions through, or, indeed, to do more than articulate them, they were murdered. Of the two, Malcolm moved swiftest (and was dead soonest), but the fates of both men were radically altered (I would say, frankly, sealed) the moment they attempted to release the black American struggle from the domestic context and relate it to the struggles of the poor and the non white all over the world.” The interview with Dr Joseph, whom had the late Manning Marable as his tutor and Robin DG Kelly (himself a student of the late Cedric J Robinson, author of “Black Marxism”) in his dissertation committee begins with the genesis of his book and further explains how both Malcolm X and Dr King's legacies are too narrowly explained to the rest of the world. After presenting his book, Peniel Joseph gave his analysis of the ongoing protests following the racist execution of George Floyd and his take on liberals' attempts to monetize the Black Lives Matter Movement in order to tone down its political demands. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lebreakdown/message

On this episode of "By Any Means Necessary" hosts Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon are joined by journalist Andy Brennan to talk about the significance of Sinn Fein's surprise victory at the Irish polls, how the failures of the two major liberal parties led to the resurgence in Irish Republicanism, why the punditocracy is drawing the wrong conclusions about the political landscape in Ireland, why Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar is refusing to align with Sinn Fein, how long-term changes in political identity in Ireland are bringing about a new political landscape, how negotiations could play out as Sinn Fein has the chance to form a coalition government, and how colonization in Ireland and the country's lack of imperialist history helped preclude the revival of far-right anti-immigrant factions currently facing so many other countries in Europe.In the second segment, Jacquie and Sean are joined by Sputnik News Analyst Wyatt Reed to talk about the trial of four members of the Embassy Protection Collective which began today, why they're being targeted with charges of "interfering with the protective functions of the US Department of State" for their efforts to protect the Venezuelan embassy from members of the Venezuelan opposition who besieged the embassy for weeks, and how the Venezuelan opposition is attempting to pack the courthouse and influence the trial's outcome.In the third segment, Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon are joined by international affairs and security analyst Mark Sleboda to talk about the possibility that Turkish attacks on the Syrian Arab Army could lead to open warfare between those countries, why the Turkish government's aggressive rhetoric doesn't always translate into action, why the Syria conflict may be in the "end-game" phase, the role of many "moderate rebels" in the US government's larger proxy war against Iran, and whether the violence between such proxy forces could spill into a war between the United States and Russia. Later in the show, Jacquie and Sean are joined by Dr. Jared Ball, professor at Morgan State University and curator of imixwhatilike.org, to talk about the reemergence of a speech by Mike Bloomberg justifying the racist consequences of his stop-and-frisk policy, why the Democratic establishment is so nervous about the popular movement surrounding Bernie Sanders, the new Netflix docu-series "Who Killed Malcolm X?" and the recent uptick in public interest around Malcolm X, why revolutionary ideologies like Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism go largely unmentioned in the series, how the show misses the mark by reducing his assassination to a personal disagreement and downplaying the role of the US government which targeted him so viciously, the tendency of the capitalist political establishment to co-opt and defang revolutionary figures like Malcolm, how the docu-series fits into a larger push to replace the more radical figure presented in Alex Haley's Autobiography of Malcolm X with the meeker Malcolm 'Reinvented' by Manning Marable's biography, why economic stagnation in Black communities means Malcolm's ideas are more relevant than ever, why European immigrants are seen as more 'American' than colonized populations who've been here for hundreds or thousands of years, the role of the Black mis-leadership class in enshrining the myth of Black Buying Power, and why advocates of Black Capitalism inevitably obscure the primary role of capitalism in marginalizing Black communities.

In this episode we talk to author Garrett Felber about his book Those Who Know Don’t Say: The Nation of Islam, The Black Freedom Struggle, and the Carceral State which is out today, January 13th. 2020. The book is a political history of the Nation of Islam which centers the NOI and anticarceral organizing in the story of the postwar Black freedom struggle and the rise of mass incarceration. Felber is an assistant professor of History at the University of Mississippi. His research and teaching focus on twentieth-century African American social movements, Black radicalism, and the carceral state. Felber was the lead organizer of the Making and Unmaking Mass Incarceration conference in December 2019, and is the Project Director of the Parchman Oral History Project (POHP), a collaborative oral history, archival, and documentary storytelling project on incarceration in Mississippi.  Felber is also a co-founder of Liberation Literacy, an abolitionist collective inside and outside Oregon prisons. He also spearheaded the Prison Abolition Syllabus, a collaborative reading list published by Black Perspectives which highlighted and contextualized prison strikes in 2016 and 2018. Felber is also the coeditor of the Portable Malcolm X Reader with the late Manning Marable and is currently working on a biography of former political prisoner Martin Sostre.

This collection of essays by black scholars and activists, edited by Jared Ball and Todd Burroughs, is a critical response to Manning Marable's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention. Though lauded by many, Marable's book was debated and denounced by others as a flawed biography, full of conjecture and errors and lacking in new factual context. Dr. Jared A. Ball is associate professor of communication studies at Morgan State University. Dr. Todd S. Burroughs is a lecturer in the communication studies department at Morgan State University. Recorded On: Tuesday, March 12, 2013

open show, it was not as good as it could have been because you were not there. we did hit on the family tree, or what i like to call the family pyramid, and how it grows the farther you go down. I discussed why that conflicts with the myths that society believes and teaches. we discussed the end of the world and the cowards that wish for it to happen in 2012. we discussed how some cowards who hide behind the end of the world and revolution. talk about lying politicians and the lie of manufacturing jobs coming back to America.

Nearly 50 years after his death, Malcolm X remains a controversial figure. An 8th grade dropout (he ditched school when a white teacher told him it was unrealistic for a black kid to dream of being a lawyer), he rose to prominence as the second most influential minister in the Nation of Islam, only to dramatically break with the Nation and convert to Sunni Islam the year before he was killed. As the nickname “Detroit Red”–gained during his hustling days in Harlem–implies, Malcolm X makes for a sneaky biographical subject. In the public imagination, he’s largely defined by The Autobiography of Malcolm X, written by Alex Haley and published shortly after his death. However, as the late Columbia University scholar Manning Marable reminds us in his ground-breaking biography Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention (Penguin, 2011), The Autobiography is a text and not a history. The Autobiography itself was a reinvention. The winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for History, Malcolm X is an attempt to reshape the narrative of Malcolm X’s life and to prompt further investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, but the book’s greatest contribution may turn out to be its portrayal of Malcolm himself. In contrast to the near messianic figure of The Autobiography, the Malcolm that emerges in Marable’s telling is profoundly flawed and hauntingly human. He is also vividly alive. “He lived the existence of an itinerant musician,” writes Marable, “traveling constantly from city to city, standing night after night on the stage, manipulating his melodic tenor voice as an instrument. He was consciously a performer, who presented himself as the vessel for conveying the anger and impatience the black masses felt.” The snappiness of Marable’s prose leaves one with the sensation that Malcolm X must’ve been standing over the author’s shoulder for the full twenty years it took him to write the book. Detroit Red– whistling, snapping, hustling, along. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
