The Black Presidency
Michael Eric Dyson delivers a provocative exploration of the politics of race and the Obama presidency. Barack Obama's presidency unfolded against the national traumas of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, and Walter Scott. The nation's first African American president was careful to give few major race speeches, yet he faced criticism from all sides, including from African Americans. How has Obama's race affected his presidency and the…

Making Malcolm
Twenty years after his assassination, what is it about Malcolm X’s life and words that speaks so powerfully to so many? In Making Malcolm, Michael Eric Dyson probes the myths and meanings of Malcolm X for our time. From Spike Lee’s film biography to Eugene Wolfenstein’s psycho biographical study, from hip-hop culture to gender and racial politics, Dyson cuts a critical swathe through both the idolization and the vicious caricatures that have unde…

Lucretius, 4.420–25
This passage occurs in a series of examples of optical illusions which Lucretius provides in order to illustrate the way in which the mind can misinterpret the evidence of the senses. There are no manuscript variations relevant to the problem which I wish to discuss. The situation envisaged is that in fording a swift river, a horse has come to a halt in mid-stream. ‘We’, that is, the rider, look down into the rushing water and get the impression …

If I say, my father was Betty Shabazz's lawyer, the poem can go no further. I've given you the punchline. If you know who she is, all you can think about is how and what you want to know about me, about my father, about Malcolm, especially in 1990 when he's all over t-shirts and medallions, but what I'm telling you is that Mrs. Shabazz was a nice lady to me, and I loved her name for the wrong reasons, SHABAZZ! and what I remember is going to visi…

Between Apocalypse and Redemption
By now the dramatic decline in black male life has become an unmistakable feature of our cultural landscape-though of course the causes behind the desperate condition of black men date much further back than its recent popular discovery. Every few months, new reports and conferences attempt to explain the poverty, disease, despair, and death that shove black men toward social apocalypse. If these words appear too severe or hyperbolic, the statist…
Reflections on the 1988 Presidential Campaign
Any reflection on the 1988 presidential campaign's meaning for progressives must begin by acknowledging the general demoralization the Left, which is principally due to two factors. First, there is the continuing contraction the boundaries discourse in American political culture, resulting in the consolidation the Right and the ongoing marginalization the Left. In a presidential race that saw Bush forces employ a skillful treachery in. underminin…
