Books: The Political Legacy o f Malcolm X
By Lamia D ukt
a sorely needed update on the life,
death and work o f one o f the
nation's greatest leaders.
T ’ Shaka sheds light on many
questions that still puzzle followers
of Malcolm and the movement. Ac
cording to historian D r. Asa
Hillard, “ this book dwarfs all other
writings. Both Alex Haley and
George Breitman suggest Malcolm
made fundamental changes toward
the end. It is T'Shaka’s contention,
and the contention his work

Malcolm X (February 21, 196))
passes. Brother Oba T 'S h a k a , a

United Front, has penned a book
updating the contribution o f our
shining black prince—Malcolm X.

T ’Shaka qualifya this statement
by saying the physical separation of
the mass of Black people is unlikely,
“ But Malcolm's A frican strategy
hooked us up psychologically with
Africa.
M alcolm was giving us a new
image to look up to and pattern our
lives and struggle after. He pointed
us down the path of Pan-Africanism
psychologically, politically and
culturally.”
The cultural impact o f what
M alcolm said twenty-three years
■go is evident in 1984: A fro -
Americans are naming their children
traditional A frican names; they
wear and accept cornrowing and
bleed when the Motherland (Africa)
bleeds.
“ The Political
Legacy o f
Malcolm X ” is required reading for
anyone who claims he or she is
knowledgeable on Malcolm X or the
Black liberation struggle. T'Shaka
does not put a halo on Malcolm, but
he balances out his strengths and
weaknesses. Malcolm X left A fro-
Americans with pride and courage.
Oba T'Shaka tells how and why.
documents, that the substance o f
M a lc o lm ’s thoughts did not
change.”
T'S haka tackles the myths put
forth by George Breitman o f the
Socialist Workers Party that
Malcolm changed from Pan-
A frican nationalism to socialism;
that when he came back from Africa
he was turned inside out and
believed changes in this society
could be created through Black and
white unity.
However, any reader of Malcolm
could tell you that Malcolm really
believed that whites should organize
their community and Blacks would
organize in their community.
T'S haka said, “ W hite marxists
(socialists), nationally and in ter
nationally, could not tolerate the
existence of a base outside their con
trol. . .they have attempted to com
pletely distort Malcolm's image to
conform to their own games.”
They have done this by writing
books about Malcolm before Black
historians had a chance to re-assess
Malcolm and the struggle after his
death. T'Shaka puts this in perspec
tive by implying that no one can
define us, but us.
He not only proves that Malcolm
did no change— the world changed
as his predictions o f an A frican
Revolution came tru e — but he
reconnects M alcolm the leader to
other leaders in the historical Black
liberation movement; a struggle that
has been waged since Blacks arrived
in chains in 1619.
W ith chapters like “ M alcolm ’s
Long Range Program and its
Historical R oo ts", T ’Shaka con
tends that Malcolm, Martin Delany
and Marcus Garvey were all moved
by the same awareness that led
each o f (hem to embrace nation
alism— rather than socialism or in
tegration.
He said, “ Malcolm's long-range
program arose out of a rich history
born out o f oppression. . .not a
unique idea. M alcolm knew the
unemployed Black person today was
just as willing to support separation
to our African homeland as he was
yesterday.”
