Opis

In this, the first book to apply a geographical perspective to black radicalism, James A. Tyner explores how the radical black power movement that emerged in the 1960s conceived Americas racialized spaces. He considers: how did they conceive of the space of the ghetto? the different social and political geographies of the North and South; and the imaginative geographies connecting blacks in America to Africa and the emerging post-colonial world. Building his theory around the intellectual evolution of Malcolm X, who at every stage of his development applied a spatial perspective to the predicament of blacks in America and the world, The Geography of Malcolm X introduces critical race theory to geography and demonstrates to readers in many other fields the importance of space and place in black nationalist thought.
