Consuming Malcolm X: prophecy and performative masculinity
Article Abstract:
Representations of Malcolm X as an aggressive, fiery person in public and a quiet, polite person in private have significant implications for the post-war politics of the 1950s and 1960s and for today's postnationalist politics. Public and private performances of his masculinity hold considerable significance for nationalism, feminism and the black and white communities. Malcolm X presented the modern self-reliant subject as the model for oppositional consciousness. This model is ultimately not viable in the modern world.
