Chapter 14. Malcolm X and the Future of New York City Islam
Frederick Douglass
In Frederick Douglass D. H. Dilbeck offers a religiously oriented study—not a conventional biography—of Frederick Douglass, emphasizing the pervasive importance of Christianity in his life and thought. Dilbeck relies heavily on Douglass's speeches, in which “more than anywhere else, Douglass most clearly voiced his prophetic theology” (p. 7). This work is compact and attractively written, and is a concise biographical treatment. Dilbeck effective…
Patrick H. Breen. The Land Shall Be Deluged in Blood
In 1904, after being editorially deprived of writing a biography of Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois informed his editor that he wished to write about Nat Turner because “no single man before 1850 had a [more] giant influence on southern loyalties & feeling” than did the failed Virginia insurrectionist. “There is abundant material for his life & times,” he concluded (Du Bois to Oberholtzer, [January 30?, 1904], handwritten draft #00244, W. E …
Black Muslim Religion in the Nation of Islam, 1960-1975
The Nation of Islam (noi) is one of the most important “counter-orthodox” movements ever to appear on the landscape of religion in the United States. No academic writer has engaged the complexities of the noi as Edward E. Curtis IV has done in this book, which exceeds older studies dating from the 1960s. Curtis extends his examination to the post— Malcolm X era (1965–1975), providing a readably lucent text that reflects careful research and exten…

On the Side of My People
The mythic figure of Malcolm X conjures up a variety of images--black nationalist, extremist, civil rights leader, hero. But how often is Malcolm X understood as a religious leader, a man profoundly affected by his relationship with Allah? During Malcolm's life and since, the press has focused on the Nation of Islam's rejection of integration, offering an extremely limited picture of its ideology and religious philosophy. Mainstream media have ig…
