| Sumario: | This paper extends our understanding of Malcolm X as both a critical theorist of geography and a radical political philosopher. Through an examination of speeches by Malcolm X, I outline his particular geographic understanding of civil and human rights, and detail how place figured prominently in his articulation of racial oppression. More specifically, this paper highlights the configuration of the South in the geopolitical philosophy of Malcolm X. In so doing, this paper contributes to the ongoing effort to critically understand the political function of regional landscape production. |
