and spike lee's malcolm x and not everyone is. i have a dear friend who teaches at an all boys charter school in the inner city. there is no book that appears more frequently on this friend's personal bookshelf and the i have never seen a bookshelf with fewer than 15 copies and never taught a class without teaching the autobiography. the work in political science is the idea that malcolm through the film and the autobiography he is a kind of magical talisman. you rub him to get your manhood fixed and hugh -- the malcolm x incantation to represent your anger at the american state and your sense of the organizing political possibilities of black manhood are. so it is that myth that is important and powerful and does important organizing work. but i am ready for it, to give it up without demanding anyone else given up. but i wasn't ready to give it up into a village. i suspect it wasn't quite right but i wasn't ready to give it up to avoid. manning lets us give up that mess without walking into a novel it. it gives us something else
